The world’s supply chain is bearing the brunt of surging consumer demand, labor shortages and overseas manufacturing delays, all amid a relentless pandemic.
WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden convened a summit on Sunday during the annual gathering of G-20 leaders to address supply-chain challenges and other disruptions affecting global commerce. „Supply chains are something that most of our citizens never think twice about until something goes wrong. And during this pandemic, we’ve seen delays and backlogs of goods from automobiles to electronics, from shoes to furniture,“ Biden said in his debut at the G-20 since becoming president. „Ending the pandemic is the ultimate key to unlocking the disruptions we’re all contending with. But, we have to take action now, together with our partners in the private sector, to reduce the backlogs that we’re facing,“ he said.
