President Joe Biden is set to announce a $3 billion investment to upgrade ports across the U.S. during a Tuesday stop at the Port of Baltimore.
The investment from his Inflation Reduction Act includes $147 million in grants for the Port of Baltimore to decarbonize its cargo handling operations, the White House said in a statement.
The president also planned to express support for longshore union members concerned about automation taking away their jobs, a key issue in a three-day strike at East and Gulf Coast ports earlier this month. Mr. Biden is set to announce the initiative around 2 p.m. Eastern time.
