President Joe Biden publicly apologized to world leaders at the UN Climate Summit in Scotland Monday; saying he was sorry Donald Trump withdrew from the Paris Climate Accords after taking office.
“I guess I shouldn’t apologize, but I do apologize for the fact that the United States — the last administration — pulled out of the Paris Accords and put us sort of behind the 8 ball,” said the President.
Biden’s comments come hours after he appeared to fall asleep during the conference’s opening remarks.
“Biden appears to fall asleep during COP26 opening speeches,” posted a reporter with the Washington Post on Twitter.

The footage comes days after Biden met with French President Macron; telling the European leader the US arms sale to Australia was “clumsy.”
“Is your relationship repaired?” asked one reporter in Rome
“The answer is, I think we, uh, what happened, was uh, to use an English phrase… uh… clumsy,” said the American President.
Climate Czar John Kerry caused a stir on social media earlier this month after telling a French TV network that Joe Biden had “literally had not been aware” of the United States’ Nuclear submarine deal with Australia.
“President Biden asked me about it. And I told him about it. He asked me what the situation was. He had not been aware of that. He had literally not been aware of what had transpired,” said Kerry. “The President is very committed to strengthening the relationship.”
