Summary

This order directs the federal government to strengthen the resilience, diversity, and security of America's supply chains. Two White House advisors (the national security and economic policy assistants) will coordinate agency work and require targeted reviews: within 100 days, reports on semiconductors, high-capacity batteries, critical minerals, and pharmaceuticals; within one year, broader sector assessments for defense, public health, information and communications technology, energy, transportation, and agriculture.

The goal is to identify risks, rebuild domestic manufacturing, support small businesses and jobs, and inform federal incentives and procurement decisions.
