Biden warns of global food shortages as Russia-Ukraine war upends wheat supplies

President Biden on Thursday warned of global food shortages as a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine — predicting that the war would upend global wheat supplies.

Russia and Ukraine jointly supply about a fourth of the world’s wheat exports.

“With regard to food shortages, yes we did talk about food shortages. And then it’s going to be real,” Biden said at a press conference in Belgium after attending meetings of NATO and G7 leaders.
