For decades, global supply chains have become increasingly integral to the US economy and have been embraced by businesses because they increase efficiency and US competitiveness. But over the past several years, criticism has grown beyond the argument that US jobs are being exported to include concern about a more hostile and competitive global landscape. Then the COVID-19 pandemic struck, and lockdowns were imposed, causing major disruptions to supply chains. As the pandemic began to ease and demand for goods increased, the enormous container ship Ever Given was grounded in the Suez Canal for six days, raising fears of even greater commercial chaos due to further interruptions of supply chains.
This truly unprecedented turn of events has unleashed challenges to US reliance on global supply chains.
