He plans to sign his infrastructure bill Monday. He also visited the Port of Baltimore on Wednesday afternoon to emphasize how federal support can strengthen global supply chains in the long run to help lower prices, reduce shortages and add union jobs. Biden is holding up Baltimore’s port as a blueprint on how to reduce shipping bottlenecks that have held back the economic recovery from the coronavirus pandemic
