SINGAPORE -- As the U.S. presidential campaign enters its final stretch with Joe Biden holding a steady lead in the polls, Asian governments are gearing up for changes in American foreign policy. And if the former vice president is elected, trade negotiators will be paying much more attention to Washington's environmental agenda.
Biden's campaign has placed an unprecedented emphasis on combating climate change. His plans include reversing incumbent President Donald Trump's decision to quit the Paris Agreement, ending federal subsidies for oil producers and -- crucially for U.S. trading partners -- introducing a border carbon adjustment mechanism.
