French president welcomes Biden back to the Paris Agreement

From CNN’s Sarah Dean

French President Emmanuel Macron has tweeted President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris welcoming the United States back into the Paris climate agreement, a landmark agreement aimed at protecting the planet from the impacts of the climate crisis.

"We are together. We will be stronger to face the challenges of our time. Stronger to build our future. Stronger to protect our planet. Welcome back to the Paris Agreement," Macron said.

"Best wishes on this most significant day for the American people," his message also said.

President Biden will sign a slate of executive actions in the Oval Office later on Wednesday, including rejoining the Paris Agreement. He will sign a notice that will be sent to the United Nations later today.

The United States will officially become party to the agreement in 30 days.
