McConnell told the Senate in Washington DC: “The president rejoined the failed Paris Climate Accord – this is a terrible deal that will cause us to cause serious economic problems for American working families, and he cannot guarantee that China. Or Russia will honor its promise”. . In fact, the United States is already reducing carbon emissions, while China and other countries that have signed agreements are increasing carbon emissions. Rejoining will only allow us to stifle job opportunities in the United States while our competitors continue to buzz by. “
He also said: “The President also unilaterally canceled the Keystone XL pipeline. His first task on the first day after taking office was to cut thousands of American jobs, including union jobs, and make us stronger. Our ally, Canada, was disappointed and reversed some of the progress we have made in energy security. This is a project supported by the Liberal Canadian government and Prime Minister Trudeau to invest in energy in North America. Even the Obama State Department has concluded that This will not harm the. However, just because the cancellation of the pipeline project can make people feel that it is environmentally friendly, the new government has eliminated these jobs. “
McConnell also criticized the Biden administration’s proposal to issue an amnesty for illegal immigrants and the firing of the independent general counsel to the National Labor Relations Board.
He said: “This is not a day that American workers deserve. It is still too early. President Biden has enough time to remember that his election is not attributable to the far left. The president can and should focus the work of his administration. in creating well-paying American jobs, without sacrificing our people’s livelihoods for liberal symbolism. Republicans in the Senate will be ready, willing and eager to help achieve this goal. “
This is the first time McConnell has made a speech in the new Congress as a minority leader in the Senate. Earlier this month, Democrats won the runoff for the Georgia senator, thus obtaining a majority in the Senate.
After taking office on Wednesday (January 20), Biden signed a series of executive orders that undermined some of the achievements of former President Donald Trump (Trump).
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a Democrat from New York State, also spoke to McConnell and praised the series of orders signed by Biden.
Schumer said: “Although the celebrations are in full swing, our new President and Senate have begun to rebuild our country and heal its wounds. At a stroke, President Biden began to join the United States and the Paris Agreement. He extended the moratorium on repayment of student loans, ended the travel ban on Muslims, reinstated protection measures for “dreamy” immigrants in our country and stopped building invalid border walls. “
Schumer also said: “It is vital that President Biden also sign a series of orders requiring the federal government to focus on fighting the coronavirus (Chinese Communist Party virus); the United States has rejoined the World Organization of the Health; and in all federal facilities. Masks are mandatory; President Biden also appointed a novel coronavirus (Chinese Communist Party virus) response coordinator to manage vaccine distribution. This is an urgent need and is a failure of the Trump administration. “
