Most economists don't think it's related, or at least a minor cause. Inflation is happening on a global scale right now.

The biggest problem we've had is a breakdown of our supply chain because of the pandemic.

All major global economies have been printing money at unprecented rates last couple of years.

Money printing to some degree has gone on everywhere but not at the same magnitude. It should not be surprising that countries have different monetary policy. Mexico for example had very little money printing/stimulus and had 7.68% annualized inflation in April.
