The pandemic triggered supply chain chaos in the past two years, which also provided the United States a chance to see America’s vulnerability in shipping bottlenecks, given that less than 100 ships out of a global fleet of 50,000 are American. As the concern that China could weaponize its growing control over supply chains and shipping is increasing, more people are concerned about the potential threat to the U.S. and the global economy.
In a conversation on shipping and international trade held at 1:30 p.m. ET on March 13, the former chairman of the U.S. House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Peter DeFazio, and Hudson Senior Fellow Michael Roberts will discuss why America is in a vulnerable position and what the United States should do to address the issue.
