President Joe Biden on Tuesday pledged unwavering federal support for the reconstruction efforts following the devastating collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore. The bridge's destruction occurred in the early hours of Tuesday morning when a Singapore-flagged cargo ship crashed into it after experiencing a power failure, marking what President Biden described as a "terrible accident."

According to reports from The Telegraph, during a press conference, President Biden assured residents that the federal government would bear the entire cost of rebuilding the bridge, underscoring his commitment to stand by the community throughout the reconstruction process. "We're going to spend all the federal resources they need as we respond to this emergency. I mean all the federal resources. And we're going to rebuild that port together," Biden affirmed.
