The Department of Homeland Security announced the release of the new National Strategy for Global Supply Chain Security. A press release from the White House notes that the "Strategy provides an integrated United States Government perspective on a complex and global issue. It recognizes that we can and must promote security and efficiency in the supply chain system rather than seek to 'balance them' as mutually exclusive ends. It emphasizes our need to foster a resilient system that can absorb shocks and recover rapidly from disruptions. And it endorses an overall approach that involves integrating efforts to manage risk, leverage a layered defense, and identify and resolve threats as early as possible."
