"America invented modern aviation, but we’ve allowed our airports to lag behind our competitors’. Today, not a single solitary American airport, not one, ranks in the top 25 in the world," Biden said during a speech in Boston. "What the hell's the matter with us?"
Biden spoke at Boston’s Logan International Airport about federal investments in US infrastructure, including in airports.
The president said a recent $62 million investment in the Logan International Airport by the Biden administration is one of the largest airport improvement investments in history.
Congress passed a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure bill last year to fund infrastructure projects, including building and upgrading bridges, roads, electric vehicles, airports and energy grids among other infrastructure items.
