According to the US Department of Labor, inflation in the country in March reached a 40-year high of 8.5%.
Earlier, #Biden said that 70% of inflation in the United States is due to Putin.
NEW - U.S. Treasury Secretary #Yellen proposes a tax on unrealized #CapitalGains to finance Biden's "#BuildBackBetter" plans.
