US President Joe Biden publicly admitted to a serious illness. According to him, he fell prey to cancer.
Oncology arose against the backdrop of the consequences of environmental pollution, said the American leader.
The owner of the White House announced this during a speech in Massachusetts, MIA Rossiya Segodnya.
Biden said that in the city of Claymont (Delaware), where he spent his childhood, a large number of oil refineries operated.
When frosts set in, city residents, including his family, had to literally “wash off oil stains” from the windows of their houses.
This is why I and many other people I grew up with have cancer. And that’s why for a long time, Delaware had the highest cancer rate in the country, the president explained.
Later, his press service clarified: we are talking about skin cancer. Biden underwent treatment even before he took office as head of state.
