lead livestream
President Biden is in Baltimore on Tuesday, touting his administration’s efforts to lower inflation, build up infrastructure and combat the effects of climate change.
The White House on Tuesday announced an additional $3 billion in funding through the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to reduce pollution and greenhouse gas emissions associated with U.S. ports. The Maryland Port Administration is set to receive $147 million of the reward.
The Port of Baltimore, one of the Eastern Seaboard’s busiest, holds symbolic value after the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in March following a collision by a container ship. Biden visited the city after the incident, vowing to help rebuild the key port.
The president’s remarks are scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. EDT.
