Biden heads to Iowa as inflation headaches intensify - The Washington Post

Today, in Iowa, President Biden continued to pin blame on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine for much of the higher costs facing Americans and announced a move to expand the use of a blended form of gasoline that uses ethanol. The move, which will benefit Iowa corn farmers, is designed to curb prices at the pump.

“Your family budget, your ability to fill up your tank, none of it should hinge on whether a dictator declares war and commits genocide a half a world away, Biden said at an event hours after the release of a new inflation report that showed prices rose 8.5 percent across the board in March compared with a year ago.

Biden later told reporters that his choice of the word “genocide” was deliberate, adding: “It’s become clearer and clearer that Putin is just trying to wipe out even the idea of being Ukrainian.”
