EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — President Joe Biden sipped on tap water and drank coffee brewed from local beans during his visit to East Palestine on Friday, one year after a Norfolk Southern train derailed and spilled hazardous chemicals.

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was questioned about whether Biden would drink the local tap water prior to his visit. During Thursday’s press briefing, Jean-Pierre asserted that “the president has no concerns with drinking” the water in the small Ohio town.
