United States President Joe Biden made statements at the press conference after the last session of the NATO Leaders Summit.
Joe Biden said about the sale of F-16 jets to Turkey:
"We need to solve the modernization of these F-16 jets. We need to sell the F-16 to Turkey. I have not changed my position much since December. We need the approval of Congress and I think we will get it."
Speaking about the food problems and rising gas prices, President Biden added,
"The only reason for the gas prices and the food crisis is Russia."
"You have decided to impose a cap on Russia's oil exports. Do you think this cap could bring down oil prices in the US?" President Biden answered the question by using the following statements:
"The war has driven up prices. How long will motorists around the world continue to pay for this war? We will continue to strengthen NATO. All around the world. I said this not so long ago: We need to limit the price the world pays for Russian oil.
Right now the price of oil is quite high. Russia should not sell at these high prices. We need to agree on a mechanism to bring down the price of gasoline, the price of oil. This is what I put forward in the Congress.
I said that the tax on oil should not be levied. Of course, if the states make this decision, there will be a drop of 1 dollar per gallon. Russia is the cause of the food crisis. Russia does not allow Ukraine to export grain. That's why there is a food shortage. All of this has an impact on prices."
