Normalized demand, not regulation, will solve supply chain delays
Washington, 9 July 2021 - The Covid-19 cargo congestion brought on by extreme demand in combination with operational disruptions is very real and felt across supply chains globally. In the U.S. in particular, all parts of the supply chain are facing unprecedented pressures – there is a lack of rail and truck capacity, warehouses are full, and ports are bursting at the seams. It is in part in this context that the President is issuing an Executive Order that addresses shipping along with other industries.The driver of these problems is demand for imports by U.S. consumers and U.S. businesses.
