Baker McKenzie’s Global Supply Chain Compliance Blog recently published the post “President Biden Signs Executive Order to Review and Strengthen US Supply Chains.”  The new blog, authored by Kerry Contini and Daniel Andreeff, is posted here.  The blog examines President Biden’s recent executive order requiring federal agencies to review risks in key US supply chains and provide policy recommendations to make them more resilient, diverse, and secure.  The review of US supply chains are likely to result in legal and regulatory changes.  The executive order directs the agencies to consult with outside stakeholders, including industry, which may provide companies with an opportunity to get involved and advocate for certain policy proposals.
