Mid of U.S. President Joe Biden departing, waiting for others to get onto Airforce One before walking up for his departure from Peru, reporter in background, UPSOUND (English): "Mr. President, President Biden, on your legacy here, your last appearance on the world stage.

STORYLINE:
U.S. President Joe Biden departed from Peru’s capital on Sunday, as he headed for Brazil in preparation for the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro.
Joe Biden is making the Amazon visit as part of a six-day trip to South America, the first to the continent of his presidency.
He traveled from Lima, Peru, where he took part in the annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit and met with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
The 21 leaders from economies bordering the Pacific, including Biden and Xi, had descended on Peru for the annual gathering at a time when America’s President-elect Donald Trump has vowed to withdraw the United States from its leadership of a global free trade agenda.
Biden flew from Lima, Peru, to Manaus. After his stop in Manaus, he was heading to Rio de Janeiro for this year’s Group of 20 leaders summit.
Biden on Sunday became the first sitting American president to set foot in the Amazon rainforest, as the incoming Trump administration seems poised to scale back the U.S. commitment to combating climate change.
The massive Amazon, which is about the size of Australia, stores huge amounts of the world’s carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas that drives climate change when it’s released into the atmosphere.
But development is rapidly depleting the world’s largest tropical rainforest.
Biden will then meet local and indigenous leaders and visit an Amazonian museum as he looks to highlight his commitment to the preservation of the region.
