‘We are entering an unprecedented food crisis,’ Macron warns
French President Emmanuel Macron urged the G-7 heads of state to invest in ways to alleviate the mounting food crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
“We are entering an unprecedented food crisis,” Macron told G-7 leaders in Brussels, adding that it should be an “imperative that Russia doesn’t create a famine.”
The war “makes countries have difficulty getting supplies of wheat and more generally cereals,” Macron said. He noted that Russian and Ukraine are two of the world’s largest cereal producers.
Earlier in the day, U.S. President Joe Biden met with Macron on the sidelines of the NATO leaders’ meeting. The two discussed ways to continue holding Russia accountable, as well as additional ways to support the Ukrainian government, according to a White House readout of the meeting.
