Former Vice President Joe Biden took issue with the Trump administration’s responses to the COVID-19, saying it was a leadership issue. “We don't have a food shortage problem, we have a leadership problem,” Biden said during a webinar event with Rep. Ron Kind, D-Wis.
“From the start, [President Donald Trump] has failed to support food producers,” he argued, saying among other things that the administration was “slow to order the government to buy food from farmers and send that food to food banks” as the crisis took hold.
He said a Biden administration would have stepped up purchases of milk and other commodities where surpluses have arisen due to the restaurant shutdowns cutting food service demand. He also criticized the Trump administration for its trade policy, saying it has made the U.S. a “bad partner.”
