President Biden visits Portland, Oregon to support the Democratic candidate for governor.

He said he’s not worried about the dollar’s recent strength.

He added that other countries, which have no choice but to suffer from a strong dollar, are rather worried.

[조 바이든 / 미국 대통령 : 달러 강세에 대해 걱정하지 않습니다. 나머지 세계가 걱정될 뿐입니다.]

He also hinted that it could handle high inflation in the US.

Although high inflation is a global phenomenon, he stressed that the US economy is strong enough to hold up.

He stressed that the problems are economic growth in other countries and the absence of sound policies.

[조 바이든 / 미국 대통령 : 우리 경제는 지독히 강합니다. 인플레이션이 전 세계적 추세지만 미국보다 다른 모든 곳이 더 나쁩니다. 문제는 다른 나라의 경제 성장과 건전한 정책의 부족입니다. 우리는 그렇지 않습니다.]

In particular, he mentioned that Prime Minister Truss’s tax cuts were a political mistake.

US government officials, including the White House, refrained from assessing, but made it clear that the UK government was responsible for the turmoil in the global financial market, including the recent plunge in the pound.

[조 바이든 / 미국 대통령 : 글쎄요, 그건 예상할 수 있었습니다. 제 말은, 그것이 실수라고 생각한 게 나만이 아니라는 것입니다.]

Prime Minister Truss replaced his finance minister after tax cuts plunged financial markets and put political life at stake.
