US State Department Spokesperson Ned Price is shortly due to deliver a press conference from the Department of State.
- Livestream: https://www.state.gov/todays-briefing-schedule/
- Price is expected to take questions on the US response to Russia's decision to withdraw from the Black Sea grain corridor initiative.
- Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement over the weekend: “Any act by Russia to disrupt these critical grain exports is essentially a statement that people and families around the world should pay more for food or go hungry. In suspending this arrangement, Russia is again weaponizing food in the war it started, directly impacting low- and middle-income countries and global food prices, and exacerbating already dire humanitarian crises and food insecurity.”
