The United States on Thursday committed another $2.5 billion in food assistance to Africa, pledging to help the continent cope with rising prices blamed in part on Russia’s invasion of breadbasket Ukraine.
WASHINGTON, United States —
Biden told leaders that the United States was concerned about rising hunger triggered “in part due to Russia’s unprovoked war against Ukraine.”“Food security is an essential foundation for peace and prosperity. Simply put, if a parent can’t feed their child, nothing else really matters.”“Africa has the potential to feed its people but also to help feed the world,” Biden said.
The United States said it would also pursue a partnership with the African Union to bring together the public and private sectors and international financial institutions to address food needs.
