SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
SUMMARY:
I. Background
Strengthening our supply chains is a
critical component of the Biden-Harris
Administration’s efforts to advance our
worker-centered trade policy, create
sustainable economic growth, ensure
that our economy is more resilient in
the face of supply shocks, and enhance
U.S. economic security. From the
COVID–19 pandemic to Russia’s fullscale invasion of Ukraine, Americans
have felt first-hand the impacts of
supply chain disruptions, which
include volatile prices for critical

consumer goods and medical products
and widespread product shortages that
contribute to inflationary dynamics.
Further, global supply chains have been
designed to maximize short-term
efficiency and minimize costs, leading
to greater vulnerability and
unsustainable dependencies, and
furthermore have promoted trade that
may not reflect our core values, like
labor standards and environmental
protection.
This is why the Administration is
undertaking a whole-of-government
effort to proactively strengthen domestic
manufacturing and to secure trusted
supply chains through strategic
arrangements with trusted partners
(friend-shoring) and with regional
partners (near-shoring). The President is
using all the tools at his disposal,
including new authorities under the
CHIPS and Science Act, Inflation
Reduction Act, and Bipartisan
Infrastructure Law, to incentivize the reshoring and domestic expansion of
critical supply chains. Enduring
resilience will require new investments
in infrastructure, new incentives to
increase the supply of key inputs, and
new forms of cooperation with allies
and trading partners to prevent and
withstand supply chain disruptions and
mitigate risks of price spikes and
volatility that could contribute to
inflationary dynamics.
To advance these policy priorities on
behalf of the American people, USTR
has been crafting a new approach to
trade and investment policy that
promotes supply chain resilience.
Resilient supply chains provide a range
of sources for critical inputs; adapt,
rebound, and recover with agility when
faced with economic shocks; uphold
labor rights and environmental
protections; and strengthen the
domestic manufacturing base and
workforce that drive economic growth
and world-class American innovation.
Over the last several decades,
however, U.S. trade and investment
policy—including rules related to
supply chains—were designed to
incentivize short-term cost-efficiency
and drive tariff liberalization, with the
goal of creating an unfettered global
marketplace. This approach helped
shape producers’ decision-making that,
in many cases, fostered geographically
concentrated and operationally complex
supply chains. For instance, natural
disasters overseas in 2011 disrupted
‘‘just-in-time’’ supply chains with
significant negative impacts for U.S.
automakers. In geopolitically fraught
regions, the challenges are frequently
even greater; when low cost is the driver
of sourcing decisions, and absent
