By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:
Section 1. Policy. As described in Executive Order 14017 of February 24, 2021 (America’s Supply Chains), it is the policy of my Administration to strengthen the enduring resilience of America’s supply chains. The United States needs resilient, diverse, and secure supply chains to ensure our economic prosperity, public health, and national security.
President Biden issued an executive order today aimed at fortifying America’s supply chains, with a particular emphasis on critical infrastructure (CI).
The order solidifies the establishment of a White House council specifically geared towards bolstering supply chain resilience. A key task for this council is conducting a thorough review of industries critical to national or economic security every four years.
The first report is due no later than Dec. 31.
The paper explores the myriad of risks faced by modern supply chains, ranging from natural disasters and geopolitical tensions to cyber threats and disruptions in global trade patterns. It investigates how technological innovations such as blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and predictive analytics are reshaping traditional risk management approaches by providing real-time visibility, data-driven insights, and proactive mitigation strategies.
