USTR Seeks Public Comment on Promoting Supply Chain Resilience

Excerpt:  “The Office of the United States Trade Representative (USTR) today published a notice in the Federal Register seeking input to inform the development of trade and investment policy initiatives that promote supply chain resilience. In outlining a new trade policy vision promoting resilience, the notice explains that resilient supply chains provide a range of sourcing options; adapt, rebound, and recover with agility following shocks; uphold labor rights and environmental protections; and strengthen the U.S. manufacturing base and workforce. To help achieve these objectives, the notice seeks information on developing sector-specific policy tools, strengthening domestic manufacturing and services, collaborating with like-minded trading partners and allies, and measuring resilience, among other topics.”
