President Joe Biden visited New Hampshire on Tuesday to discuss the infrastructure law.
The president visited the New Hampshire Port Authority along Portsmouth Harbor, where he talked about investing in ports and waterways.
He also warned Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine would continue to “take its toll” on the global economy as he acknowledged soaring inflation while touting his domestic accomplishments in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.
“The invasion of Ukraine has driven up gas prices and food prices all over the world. The two major bread baskets of wheat in the world are Ukraine and Russia. … What we saw in the most recent inflation data was last month about 70% of the increase in inflation was a consequence of Putin’s price hike, because of the impact on gas and energy prices,” he said.
