Per The Wall Street Journal:
The White House released a series of reports on Thursday recommending dozens of measures to help alleviate the on-going supply chain issues that have been plaguing the country. The reports outline steps the nation can take to strengthen freight transportation, as well as our underlying infrastructure. Some of the proposed measures include pushing globally for adjusted cargo container sizes, and updating existing road infrastructure and expanding ship-building projects domestically. A key theme throughout the reports was higher diversification at every level, to safeguard against future bottlenecks.Supply Chain Efficiency is Needed Now
