Biden scoffs at East Palestine mayor who claimed he 'doesn't care' about town amid trip to Ukraine
Fox News
The president appeared unmoved by East Palestine, Ohio Mayor Trent Conaway's claim he "doesn't care about us" as the town continues to be impacted by toxic chemical contamination.
"Do you have any plan to travel to Ohio and have you talked with the mayor yet?" ABC's David Muir asked. Joseph A. Wulfsohn is a media reporter for Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to joseph.wulfsohn@fox.com and on Twitter: @JosephWulfsohn.
"Let's put this in perspective," Biden responded. "Within two hours of that derailment, the EPA was in there. Within two hours. Every major agency in the United States government that had anything to do with rail and or cleanup was there and is there. In addition to that, I've spoken at length to the congresspersons, the governors, the senators from both states of Pennsylvania and Ohio. And I've made it clear to them anything they need is available or we'll make it available to them."
