DHS secretary outlines disruptive dynamics against which the center is intended to protect the supply chain.
President Joe Biden and Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas announced the new Supply Chain Resilience Center this week, creating a new government entity within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). The leaders made this announcement at the inaugural meeting of the White House Council on Supply Chain Resilience, saying that the new center will be a place for the government to collaborate more closely with the private sector to strengthen America’s supply chains.
“The global pandemic has revealed that the supply chains that Americans rely upon for food and essential other goods must be more robust and resilient,” said Secretary Mayorkas. “Conflict, political instability, and climate change could challenge our supply chains in the years ahead. The Supply Chain Resilience Center will help American businesses and the federal government anticipate these disruptions and play a key role in the Biden-Harris Administration’s work to prevent them.”
