US President Joe Biden made a historic visit to the Amazon rainforest, marking the first time a sitting US president has done so. The trip aimed to highlight Biden's commitment to combating climate change, with a multimillion-dollar plan to reforest the Amazon. However, the visit was overshadowed by two major issues: Biden's decision to allow Ukraine to use long-range American missiles in its conflict with Russia, and concerns over Donald Trump's potential rollback of environmental policies if he returns to power. Biden avoided addressing questions about the Ukraine escalation during the trip.
