| BLATANT LIE |

Claim via Social Media: The United States of America “no longer exists” because President Joe Biden “signed away our sovereignty as a nation.”
PolitiFact rating: Pants on Fire (President Joe Biden signed the Declaration of North America on Jan. 10 following talks with Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. It is not a legally binding document and has no bearing on U.S. sovereignty.) The US still exists. Biden didn’t sign away the country’s sovereignty with North American agreement |
