President Joe Biden becomes the first U.S. president to set foot in the Amazon rainforest during a brief stop in the Brazilian city of Manaus.
President Biden is expected to take an aerial tour over part of the Amazon, meet local and indigenous leaders and visit an Amazonian museum as he looks to highlight his commitment to the preservation of the region.
The Biden administration announced plans last year for a $500 million contribution to the Amazon Fund, the most significant international cooperation effort to preserve the rainforest, primarily financed by Norway.
