Today President Biden will sign an Executive Order (sắc lệnh hành pháp) to help create more resilient (mau phục hồi, kiên cường) and secure supply chains for critical and essential goods.

In recent years, American households, workers, and companies have increasingly felt the strain (căng thẳng) of shortages (thiếu thốn) of essential products (sản phẩm thiết yếu)—from medicine to food to computer chips. Last year’s shortages of personal protective equipment (PPE) for front-line healthcare workers (nhân viên y tế tuyến đầu) at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic (đại dịch) were unacceptable (không chấp nhận được). Recent shortages of automotive semiconductor chips have forced slowdowns at car manufacturing plants, highlighting how shortages can hurt U.S. workers.

While we cannot predict (dự đoán, tiên đoán) what crisis (khủng hoảng) will hit us, we should have the capacity (năng lực) to respond (phản ứng, đối phó) quickly in the face of challenges (đối mặt với thách thức). The United States must ensure that production shortages, trade disruptions (đứt gãy thương mại), natural disasters (thảm họa thiên nhiên) and potential actions by foreign competitors (đối thủ nước ngoài) and adversaries (địch thủ) never leave the United States vulnerable (dễ bị tổn thương) again. Today’s action delivers on the President’s campaign commitment to direct his Administration to comprehensively address (giải quyết một cách toàn diện) supply chain risks (rủi ro chuỗi cung ứng). The task of making our supply chains more secure can also be a source of well paid jobs for communities across our country, including in communities of color, and steps will be taken to ensure that the benefits of this work flow to all Americans.

The Executive Order launches a comprehensive review of U.S. supply chains and directs federal Departments and Agencies to identify ways to secure U.S. supply chains against a wide range of risks and vulnerabilities. Building resilient supply chains will protect the United States from facing shortages of critical products. It will also facilitate needed investments to maintain America’s competitive edge (lợi thế cạnh tranh), and strengthen U.S. national security (an ninh quốc gia).
