President Biden is signing an executive order on Wednesday that directs his administration to conduct a 100-day review of U.S. supply chains as automakers deal with a shortage of crucial parts. The order will direct federal agencies to review vulnerabilities in supply chains for drugs, minerals, semiconductors, and batteries for electric vehicles. It also will call for a broader one-year review in areas like biological preparedness, the energy sector, transportation, and food and agricultural supply chains. “The United States must ensure that production shortages, trade disruptions, natural disasters and potential actions by foreign competitors and adversaries never leave the United States vulnerable again,” the White House said.
