US President Biden visits New York and New Jersey

New York. After the historic storm with more than 45 dead in New York and the surrounding area, US President Joe Biden will visit the region on Tuesday. In addition to the borough of Queens in the US east coast metropolis, Biden is also expected in Manville in the neighboring state of New Jersey. The place was hit particularly hard by Hurricane “Ida” with unprecedented rainfall.

On Friday, the president had already traveled to New Orleans in the southern United States, where the hurricane first wreaked havoc. There Biden promised to support the victims. He sees extreme weather events in the US as evidence that the climate crisis is in full swing and advocated tougher countermeasures.
