By Brad Wenstrup, June 30,2020.
At this point, it is no secret that COVID-19 has underscored our nation's supply chains'fragility and highlighted the security risks posed by an over-reliance on nations that serve as our greatest strategic competitors.
This is also not a revelation: In July 2017, President Trump directed the Secretary of Defense to assess supply chain resiliency and the strength of the U.S. manufacturing and defense industrial base.
This will allow us to harness the innovation and advancements of allied nations without sacrificing our own security.
