PHILADELPHIA - The United States Labor Department on Thursday reported its highest consumer inflation jump in nearly four decades propelled by surging costs for gas, food and housing.

A gallon of regular gas in Pennsylvania will cost motorists $4.43 on average, according to AAA. And neighboring New Jersey and Delaware will only save drivers pennies.

Average gas prices nationally have jumped about 62 cents a gallon since Russia's invasion of Ukraine.But gas isn't the only thing that's getting more expensive.From January to February, nearly every category of goods and services got pricier.

Grocery costs jumped 1.4%, the sharpest one-month increase since 1990, other than during a pandemic-induced price surge two years ago.

Biden to assess where Chinese President Xi Jinping stands on Russia's war

WASHINGTON - President Joe Biden and China's Xi Jinping are set to speak on Friday as the White House warns Beijing that providing military or economic assistance for Russia's invasion of Ukraine will trigger severe consequences from Washington and beyond.Planning for the call has been in the works since Biden and Xi held a virtual summit in November, but differences between Washington and Beijing over Russian President Vladimir Putin's prosecution of his three-week-old war against Ukraine are expected to be at the center of the call.White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden would question Xi about Beijing's "rhetorical support" of Putin and an "absence of denunciation" of Russia's brutal invasion of Ukraine."This is an opportunity to assess where President Xi stands," Psaki said.China on Friday again sought to highlight its calls for negotiations and donations of humanitarian aid, while accusing the U.S. of provoking Russia and fueling the conflict by shipping arms to Ukraine."China has called for every effort to avoid civilian casualties all the time," Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian told reporters at a daily briefing.
