If President Trump had done this (he probably did conduct such an assessment) we would have considered it to be a legitimate threat assessment.
With President Biden in charge, we just consider it to be a threat of things to come. Could it be that BDS (Biden Derangement Syndrome) has set in. But in this case, why would it be considered “Derangement”?!
This is a good thing. American companies need to step up and meet the demand. What we lack in cheap labor we must replace with better processes, innovative design, and savvy use of manufacturing. technology.
Yep, nothing like a new law to make markets operate more efficiently.
The senile old fool Biden will wave his magic wand, and mandate more silicon chips!
How about make it in America?
What an original thought. /sarc
10% for the Big Guy and CCP Joe will let anything slip through customs.
Pentagon strikes deal over Texas-based rare earths mine to ween US off reliance on China

why sign an exec order, just demand a report from staff.
This is just a pretend president doing pretend work to get press as if he doesn’t have dementia.
“ Biden to order a review of US supply chains for vital goods “
So he can report them to his masters to improve their disruption
capabilities...
(In case you thought this might be his first non domestic enemy act...)
~Easy
The next step toward totalitarianism. What industries should I control now?
Vital goods meaning drugs for sex change operations, whoever is protecting the capital right now from our illegitimate president, all of those vaccines that have been tossed for non use, Illegal drugs, Satan’s handbook, masks?
Add your own....
Oh great, now they are setting their sights on “supply chains” which means they are getting ready to screw that up too.
Another committee study. BFHD! But if he solves the firearms and ammunition shortages then okay! Smile smile
Watch him put the US in more jeopardy relying on more foreign imports.
Might as well screw that up. He has already screwed up the gas and diesel fuel supply chain.
Gas went up another 10 cents here today. Back in the end of December it was 1.75 to 1.85 here. Now it is over 2.50 a gallon and they say it will hit over 2.80 within the next month.
Yet we have those on here that say there is not a severe recession coming.
Joe’s instant fuel price increases impact this impact. What a maroon!
Why the hell is he doing it by Executive Order. Ain’t isn’t it a discussion Congress should be engaged in instead of the dictator?
Put a lid on it, Joe !
Why review the supply chain for vulnerabilities, compile the list, and then be snookered by the Chinese ?
If you don't hand it to them, they will hack it out of you, online. National intelligence will tell you about it, in probably two years, if at all.
Batteries and critical semi-conductor raw materials come from foreign countries that are being overwhelmed by China's "Belt and Road" economic scheme.
Critical raw materials are at risk of Chinese expansion of their colonial-like "sphere of influence" and expansion of their seaports, on a world-wide basis.
Our pharmaceuticals, analgesics, and pain killers all come manufactured from China, and then labeled in the U.S..
How did we find that out about our insufficient local pharmaceuticals last year ? When China threatened to cut our supplies off !!
How did we find out about the shortage of raw materials and rare-earth metals for electronics and aerospace ? When China threatened to cut our refined supplies off !!
We can't even complete the automobile finishing lines because we don't have the materials, or the electronics to get the mandated electrical autos off the manufacturing finishing line
Hey Joe, do you see a pattern here ?
Trying to get his sticky little grubhooks into everybody’s pies!
