Strengthening US Supply Chains and Critical Technologies for National Security
This act aims to bolster US national and economic security by ensuring stable supplies of critical goods and technologies. It means the government will work to ensure citizens have access to essential products during crises like pandemics or disasters, and that American businesses are more resilient to disruptions. The focus is on domestic production and collaboration with allies to reduce reliance on risky countries.
Key points
The US government will identify and protect critical supply chains to ensure access to vital products during crises.
Relocation of critical goods manufacturing to the US and allied countries will be encouraged, potentially creating new jobs.
Confidential company information on supply chains, voluntarily shared with the government, will be protected from public disclosure.
