Biden-Harris Administration Marks Progress Strengthening America’s Supply Chains
The Biden Administration addressed the shocks that were roiling global supply chains and moved to secure key industries for America’s economy and national security. Everything in our lives—the food we eat, the medicines in our hospitals, the energy that powers our homes, the computer chips in our devices—relies on supply chains, and the disruptions sparked by the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia’s war on Ukraine showed what happens when they are neglected for decades.
Four years later, America’s supply chains are stronger and more resilient.
