could add 4bn tonnes to US emissions by 2030

In what way does the graph indicate that? It's not raw emissions because that's around 5 billion, it's not change in emissions because that will be down from about 5.5 billion, it's not compared to Biden or his target because even Biden's target is only about 2 billion less.

The most generous interpretation I can give it is that they typoed 2050 in the title, and that it's Trump's ~4.2 billion rounded down vs Biden's target of 0. But even that's pretty wrong because that wouldn't be "adding" emissions, it would just be reducing emissions less.
