    Russia slams Biden's attempt to blame Moscow for US inflation

US President Joe Biden's effort to blame Moscow for rising inflation rates in the US is unconvincing, Dmitry Polyansky, Russia's First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations, said.

Looks like President Putin is governing the US as well, since he can impose taxes on food and gas. Unconvincing and futile attempt by @POTUS to shift the blame and escape his responsibilities! 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 #PriceHike https://t.co/xs2qrUGyze

— Dmitry Polyanskiy (@Dpol_un) June 10, 2022

TASS reported on the Tweet, in which Polyansky called Biden's attempts "unconvincing and futile."

US President Joe Biden chastised Russian President Vladimir Putin for the country's record gas prices and 40-year-high inflation on Friday. In the face of dismal polling results, Biden highlighted that his administration is working hard to rein in soaring costs.

Biden spoke at the Port of Los Angeles, applauding his administration's efforts to eliminate supply-chain backlogs, and urged Congress to crack down on global shipping companies, accusing them of unfairly boosting their rates after the COVID-19 outbreak.

His statement came only hours after the Bureau of Labor Statistics released a dismal report showing that consumer prices jumped 8.6% year on year in May, the fastest rate of inflation since 1981. Food and gasoline prices have risen significantly more than 8.6%, with petrol prices increasing by over 50% since last year and reaching record highs in June.

Biden attempted to blame Putin for these costs in particular.

“Today’s inflation report confirms what Americans already know. Putin’s price hike is hitting America hard,” he declared. Insisting that the US job market is “the strongest it’s been since World War II,” Biden repeated, “we’ve never seen anything like Putin’s tax on food and gas."

According to an ABC News poll conducted this weekend, 71%  of Americans disagree with Biden's handling of inflation. Furthermore, the poll indicated that inflation and the economy are the two concerns that respondents consider "very significant", with inflation being the "single most important issue" for more people than any other.
