MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 21st January, 2021) UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Thursday welcomed US President Joe Biden's decision to return the United States to the Paris Climate Agreement.

"President @JoeBiden rejoining the Paris Agreement is hugely positive news. In the year we host @COP26 [UN Climate Change Conference] in Glasgow, I look forward to working with our US partners to do all we can to safeguard our planet," Johnson tweeted.

On Wednesday, new US President Joe Biden signed three executive orders, including one on the US rejoining the Paris Climate Agreement. The decision reverses former President Donald Trump's move to abandon the accord.
