01:47workers, families, and businesses can come down, his policy plan says.
01:52President Joe Biden re-entered the Paris Climate Agreement after Trump withdrew in his first
01:56term, but Trump has said he plans to again back out, calling the accords a, quote, rip-off
02:02because the United States pays more than other countries.
