The letter came after a major meatpacker resumed US operations on Wednesday following a ransomware attack that disrupted meat production in North America and Australia.

Biden believes Russian President Vladimir Putin has a role to play in preventing these attacks and planned to bring up the issue during their summit this month, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Wednesday.
