Again it's just going to cost the US more. Unfair trade practices actually means the US is too expensive it can't compete. People go where it's the least expensive.
Man, what is up with all the military language.
WTF are they going to "strike" at?
The days when US was the world's largest consumer market is over, so the ability to sway supply chain is also diminishing.
"The "supply chain trade strike force," led by the U.S. trade representative, is looking for specific violations that have contributed to a "hollowing out" of supply chains that could be addressed with trade remedies, including toward China, senior administration officials told reporters."
The root cause of the hollowing of the supply chain is the reserve currency status of the dollar and the lack of a comprehensive national industrial policy.
The first gave Americans an elevated level of standard of living beyond what their comparable level of skill/education/credential would net them on the global market place. The reserve currency status gave Americans almost limitless deficit spending capability, elevating consumption and consumer credit. With an elevated standard of living comes an elevated labor prices.
In conjunction with the global liquidity of the USD, this easily translates to off shoring.
Now, US could have stemmed and curtailed this hollowing out of the supply chain, or at least living hig on the hog a couple of decades longer, if they were willing to institute a comprehensive national industrial policy, particularly after the Cold War. However, after the Cold War, everyone thought the market would balance everything and solve all their problems, so they deregulated.
And below is how the market came to "balance" the global supply chain and inefficiencies.
Can Biden solve either problems? NO.
De-leverage the dollar and capitol would be mobbed again. Even a hint of a real national industrial policy and the republican party would find itself suddenly swimming in donor money.
