Emerging technologies and new threats have forced lawmakers to rethink supply chain resilience.
New technologies, evolving threats and the wars in Ukraine and Gaza have strained global supply chains and forced the U.S. to rethink how it will meet its own needs, and those of its allies, at a moment of intense global tension. Experts and leaders convened Wednesday by POLITICO laid out the challenges — and some of the solutions.
Brandon Wales, executive director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, warned that the threat has not diminished. “China’s targeting of our critical infrastructure continues unabated,” he said. “If I was to show everyone the list of places where we have gone on site and found Chinese pre-positioning on our critical infrastructure, a portion of that list no one here would recognize the names of those assets,” Wales said. “They’re not big, huge, important pieces of critical infrastructure, but they are geographically dispersed across the country. They target various sectors that the Chinese believe will help induce the societal panic they want to accomplish.
Eric Fanning, the president of Aerospace Industries Association, said that “‘Buy American’ can make it harder to sell American” because of limited capacity. “We’ve seen in Ukraine, we don’t have the capacity, and can’t grow to the capacity to do everything we want in the United States,” Fanning said. “We need to do it collectively.”Rep. Jake Ellzey said that federal agencies that limit American abilities to produce rare earth minerals place the U.S. at a disadvantage to countries like China, Russia and Iran.
