The United States and China Need to Cooperate—for the Planet’s Sake

 In President Biden's first 1oo days, his priority last month was to bring back the United States back into the Paris Agreement that former President Trump pulled the U.S. out of. This week President Biden continued to sign another executive order to taking another step toward domestic action and international engagement on climate change. President Biden also moved forward with establishing White House Office Domestic Climate Policy and to set a date on Earth day in April for a global summit, with these strong actions that President Biden is enforcing will surely have the United States to be involved and improving what we can do to help the decline of climate change. With these executive orders, this will improve the relationship that the United States and China had fallen since the Trump Administration...although how does China tie into all of this? Chinese President Jinping's pledge is to achieve the world's position on global powers for a new era of diplomacy, where we can finally allow climate change to be the top priority rather than the last. Climate change is critical for both the United States and China to cooperate with each other, and not to compete with because this involvement on improving the issue on climate change will determine our lives in 2060.
