U.S. President Joe Biden said, “The message I want to make is that this is really a sequel and a spin-off. I said that once when we decided to help Ukraine, and I want to get across that it will cost us as well, how it will cost Western countries and the NATO alliance because you know what was going to happen and gas prices, oil prices and food prices were going to go up.”

He stressed during a reception for the Democratic National Committee that “his administration is trying to bring down the price of gasoline in the country”, explaining that “the bottom line is that we will live at some point in inflation, but it will be gradual decrease, and we will live in its conditions for a while.”

Biden expressed confidence that “the outlook for the American economy is good,” adding: “Many people express concern about inflation, high food prices and other problems, but the reality is that our economy is the fastest growing in the world. .”

Gasoline prices in the United States set a new record, and for the first time in the history of the country, the price of gasoline exceeded $ 5 per gallon (3785 liters).
