LIMA (Reuters) - Joe Biden will become the first sitting U.S. president to visit the Amazon rainforest on Sunday as he flags the dangers of global warming often dismissed by Donald Trump, who enters the White House in January vowing to scrap measures to fight climate change.
Biden is traveling from Lima, Peru, to Manaus, Brazil, to meet with local leaders working to preserve the Amazon, before he flies to Rio de Janeiro for a summit of the Group of 20 major economies addressing issues from hunger and poverty to global governance and climate change.
