President Joe Biden directed the federal government to work on strengthening the U.S. supply chain on June 14 by signing an executive order, as he co-signed parallel joint commitments with the other leaders of the Group of Seven (G7) in the southern Italian town of Borgo Egnazia.
The order formalizes the White House Council on Supply Chain Resilience and instructs it to “coordinate and promote federal government efforts to strengthen long-term supply-chain resilience and American industrial competitiveness,” identify threats and weaknesses, and work with partners to strengthen the global supply chain.
