Biden Asks Americans To Stop Panic-Buying Gas And Making Supply Issue Worse

President Joe Biden on Thursday addressed the ransomware attack that forced the shutdown of a vital U.S. fuel pipeline last week, seeking to reassure Americans whose panic-buying has made a combustible situation far worse.

While a return to normalcy should begin this weekend and into the beginning of next week, the president warned that it won’t be instantaneous.

“We will not feel the effects at the pump immediately,” he cautioned. “This is not like flicking a light switch.”
