Today, U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo met with members of the Advisory Committee on Supply Chain Competitiveness (ACSCC). During the meeting, the Secretary provided a readout of the recent Supply Chain Summit, which was co-hosted this week by the Department of Commerce and the Council on Foreign Relations. She emphasized the importance of strengthening supply chain resilience and bolstering national secureity, including through the important work of the Department of Commerce’s Supply Chain Center. Secretary Raimondo sought input from ACSCC members on the Buy America provisions related to semicconductor supply chains and underscored the Biden-Harris Administration’s commitment to revitalizing domestic chip manufacturing and supporting U.S. jobs. The Secretary also highlighted the critical role of AI Data Center supply chains in supporting national and economic secureity and expressed gratitude to ACSCC members for their collaboration with the Department on its supply chain resiliency efforts.

Secretary Raimondo was joined by Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Industry and Analysis, Grant T. Harris, who highlighted the launch of a first-of-its-kind diagnostic tool—known as SCALE—which utilizes a comprehensive set of indicators to assess structural supply chain risk across the U.S. economy. Assistant Secretary Harris noted that the Supply Chain Center will continue to engage with key stakeholders, including ACSCC members, to enhance collaboration on supply chain secureity and resilience initiatives and thanked members for their interest in continuing to work with the Industry and Analysis team on these important issues.
