WASHINGTON (AP) — Presi-
dent Joe Biden on Monday
opened the first meeting of
his supply chain resilience
council by warning com-
panies against price goug-
ing and saying that his ad-
ministration was working to
lower costs for U.S. families.
“We know that prices are
still too high for too many
things, that times are still
too tough for too many
families,” Biden said. “But
we’ve made progress.”
The president has blamed
inflation on issues such as
supply chains and Russia’s
2022 invasion of Ukraine,
while Republican lawmak-
ers say the run-up in prices
was triggered by the $1.9
trillion in coronavirus re-
lief that Democrat Biden
signed into law in 2021.
Biden used the council
meeting to announce 30
actions to improve access
to medicine and needed
economic data as well as
other programs tied to the
production and shipment President Joe Biden speaks about supply chain issues in the Indian Treaty Room on the White House complex, Monday, Nov. 27,
