  • Frequently Asked Questions and Answers Regarding the Trump Administrations Push to Secure Supply Chains in the United States

It has been publicly reported that discussions are underway within the Trump Administration for a coordinated interagency initiative to remove key industrial supply chain dependencies from overseas, especially China, and redouble efforts to secure such supply chains in the United States.
