BidenCallsToxic Train Crash an 'Act of Greed' in Visit to East Palestine, Ohio.

President Joe Biden visited East Palestine, Ohio, to address concerns over his administration's response to a train derailment that occurred last year. The derailment released toxic chemicals into the air and water, causing residents to worry about contamination. Biden blamed Norfolk Southern and those who blocked rail-safety legislation for the incident, calling it an "act of greed." He assured the community of the federal commitment to their recovery and pledged to hold Norfolk Southern accountable. The visit holds political significance as it highlights Biden's challenge in winning over rural, white, blue-collar workers in the Rust Belt. [Extracted from the article]
