Biden confirmed speculation that food shortages caused by the war in Ukraine are going to impact much of the world in the year ahead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be real,\u201d Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-03-24\/biden-says-to-expect-real-food-shortages-due-to-ukraine-war\">said<\/a> at the news conference in reference to food shortages. \u201cThe price of the 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<\/p>\n<p>Earlier in March, Biden announced a new wave of U.S. sanctions targeting the property of Russian oligarchs, while also banning various Russian exports such as luxury goods. Pending approval from the U.S. Congress, Biden will also suspend normal trading status with Russia by revoking its most favored nation status, in coordination with other allies.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday, The Daily Wire\u2019s \u201cMorning Wire\u201d podcast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/if-you-think-weve-got-hell-on-earth-now-you-just-get-ready-un-exec-predicts-mass-migration-crisis\">reported<\/a> that due to the war in Ukraine, Americans should expect major disruptions to the food supply chain. Together, Russia and Ukraine typically provide roughly 25% of global wheat exports, but because of agricultural and economic measures taken by both countries, those exports will sharply decrease. That disruption will, in turn, drive up food costs around the globe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOver the past month, the grain market has seen such volatility that many farmers \u2014 despite having a product suddenly in short supply \u2014 are struggling to find buyers due to near-unprecedented spikes in the futures market of the commodity,\u201d The Daily Wire\u2019s Cabot Phillips\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/food-prices-are-about-to-get-even-more-exorbitant\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>At the same time, \u201cfertilizer prices have also seen more than their fair share of volatility as the war in Ukraine disrupts supply chains and alters demand,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRussia, which supplies roughly ten percent of all fertilizer for American farmers, no longer allows such exports to the United States,\u201d which adds to the problem, Phillips\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/food-prices-are-about-to-get-even-more-exorbitant\">explained<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>In an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/world-food-programme-eu-fund-us-food-aid-ukraine-russia\/\">interview<\/a> with Politico, David Beasley, the U.N.\u2019s World Food Programme executive director, also warned that the food shortages will disproportionately harm Africa and the Middle East, kickstarting a mass migration crisis for Europe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re billions short,\u201d Beasley said in reference to the U.N.\u2019s ability to prepare for the coming crisis. \u201cFailure to provide this year a few extra billion dollars means you\u2019re going to have famine, destabilization and mass migration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe crunch point will come in the fall, Beasley said, when the full impact of the war\u2019s disruption is likely to be felt,\u201d Politico reported.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you think we\u2019ve got hell on earth now, you just get ready,\u201d Beasley warned. \u201cIf we neglect northern Africa, northern Africa\u2019s coming to Europe. If we neglect the Middle East, [the] Middle East is coming to Europe,\u201d he continued, explaining the chain reaction.<\/p>\n<p>Beasley is begging European nations to provide more funding this year so that the WFP can properly handle the food crisis to prevent the migration crisis.<\/p>\n<p>According to Bloomberg, Biden also <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2022-03-24\/biden-says-to-expect-real-food-shortages-due-to-ukraine-war\">discussed<\/a> with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau the possibility of a trade agreement between Canada and the U.S. to help offset prices while maintaining food supply:<\/p>\n<div class=\"body-content fence-body\">\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"paywall\"><em>Biden said that at the G-7 summit in Brussels earlier that he and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau both discussed increasing their nation\u2019s agricultural production to try to make up for shortfalls. Biden said he\u2019s also urging all nations including those in Europe to drop trade restrictions that could restrict exports of food.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest growing conservative media companies for breaking news, investigative reporting, sports, podcasts, in-depth analysis, books, and entertainment for a reason: because we believe in what we do.
