Strategic Ports Report: Protecting US Security and Global Supply Chains.

This law requires the Department of Defense to conduct a detailed study of global maritime ports critical to US security and economy. The goal is to investigate the extent to which foreign entities, particularly China, control these strategic points, which could threaten American supply chains and national interests. The findings will be used to develop a strategy to secure port access and protect maritime infrastructure, indirectly affecting price stability and goods availability for citizens.
Key points
The US government will investigate how foreign control over key global ports could impact national security and economic stability, affecting the flow of goods.
The report must identify security vulnerabilities in ports and propose concrete actions, including investments, to protect the global supply chains that citizens rely on.
Authorities will develop a strategy to ensure trusted investment in port infrastructure and replace potentially risky technologies used in maritime logistics.
