David Beasley: “Food can't be weaponized. It just cannot.”

Had it not been for the United States, the taxpayers of this country, we would have had mass famine.

where there is hunger there is migration and extremism and that food security programs are a powerful weapon against these forces.

I have made requests straight to President Putin that the world's famines are in your hands right now and you need to open up these ports.

The question to me, to you is how quickly can you react in the major producing countries to offset not just Ukraine, but the crises that we are facing around the world.
