Supply Chain Resilience – Agencies Are Taking Steps to Expand Diplomatic Engagement and Coordinate with International Partners

Based on reviews of Executive Order (E.O.) 14017, “America’s Supply Chains,” it is recommended that the Departments of Commerce and State engage allies and partners on supply chain resilience and recommended that USTR (U.S. Trade Representative) lead an interagency trade task force to help strengthen supply chain resilience.

As part of GAO’s (Government Accountability Office) body of work on supply chain issues, this report describes Commerce, State, and USTR’s diplomatic efforts to strengthen supply chains since the onset of the pandemic and the challenges of coordinating with allies and partners.
