| Description | The COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, trade disputes, and increased great-power competition highlight risks specific to the supply chains of products crucial to national security, environmental sustainability, and economic prosperity. Rather than jumping from one crisis to the next, the United States must work with its international partners to mitigate critical supply chain vulnerabilities through cohesive, sustained action. Please join Wilson Center President & CEO, Ambassador Mark Green for a public panel discussion on April 12 from 1–2 p.m. (ET) with Representatives Elissa Slotkin (MI-08) and Mike Gallagher (WI-08), leaders of the House Armed Services Committee’s Defense Supply Chains Task Force. Panelists will discuss ongoing initiatives and legislation focused on overcoming strategic supply chain vulnerabilities. This conversation will also feature Wilson Center experts providing regional insights on pathways for international collaboration on building resilient, global supply chains. |
