Had it not been for the United States, the taxpayers of this country, we would have had mass famine.
If we are able to feed 200 million people, that means that we can actually cut hunger in Africa by 80 percent.
We get 50 percent of our grains out of the Ukraine-Russia area. It's going to have a dramatic impact on food cost, shipping cost, oil, and fuel. This is a catastrophe on top of a catastrophe.
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.
