HEADLINES & GLOBAL NEWS By Jan 21, 2021 10:54 PM EST President Joe Biden took several steps in the wrong direction on the first day of office, according to Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) on Thursday. 'Several Big Steps in the Wrong Direction' McConnell stated Biden re-entered the failed Paris climate agreement, which was an unfavorable bargain that would set them up to self-inflict significant economic pain on working American families with no affirmation that China or Russia would uphold their commitments. McConnell denounced several actions taken by the president and cautioned that Republicans would attempt to block proposals they disagree with. Aside from rejoining the Paris climate agreement, McConnell pointed out Biden's canceling of the Keystone XL oil pipeline and sacking a Trump appointee as National Labor Relations Board general counsel, reported News Break.
