• President Biden said Wednesday that the world is in “disarray” because of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and that he was trying to address the fact that Thanksgiving costs “a lot of money.”
• “One of the things that I think frustrates the American people is that they know the world is in a bit of disarray,” the president said at the end of an event announcing new efforts to curb two types of banking “junk fees” by restricting charges on people who deposit bad checks and on customers who overdraw their accounts due to slow bank processing.
• “They know that Putin’s war has imposed an awful lot of strains on Europe and the rest of the world and the United States — everything from him blocking grain shipments to oil,” the president added. “And they want to know what are we doing.”
