President Biden<\/a>\"\"Joe Biden<\/a>Defense & National Security \u2014 Biden huddles with allies in Europe<\/a> On The Money \u2014\u00a0Unemployment claims at lowest level since late 1960s<\/a> Energy & Environment \u2014 Biden walks tightrope on oil industry messaging <\/a> MORE<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> warned Thursday that there could be global food shortages resulting from\u00a0the Russian invasion\u00a0of Ukraine and announced steps to prevent a potential crisis.
\u201cWe did talk about food shortages. And it’s going to be real. The price of these sanctions is not just imposed upon Russia, it\u2019s imposed upon an awful lot of countries as well, including European countries and our country as well,\u201d Biden said at a press conference from Brussels, where he is meeting with NATO leaders.\u00a0
Both Russia and Ukraine, for example, are providers of wheat, Biden noted, though he pointed\u00a0out that the U.S. and Canada are both major wheat producers, too.
The president\u00a0announced his intention to redouble combined efforts with the European Union to increase global food security and provide direct food aid, where warranted, to prevent a crisis in a joint statement with European Union President Ursula von der Leyen on Thursday.\u00a0
The president said NATO leaders talked about urging all the European countries and everyone else \u201cto end trade restrictions on limitations on sending food abroad.\u201d
The U.S. and its allies, Biden said, are in the \u201cprocess of working out\u201d how to alleviate food shortage concerns amid rising inflation and lingering supply chain issues.
Senior administration officials warned that Russia\u2019s invasion threatens to jeopardize food security for the Middle East and Africa in particular.
\u201cRussia\u2019s war of aggression threatens to disrupt the supply of critical agricultural commodities from the Black Sea region, which jeopardizes global food security, particularly for vulnerable populations in the Middle East and Africa,\u201d officials said earlier on Thursday.
