Biden holding meeting on supply chain issues – Reuters

WASHINGTON, Dec 22 (Reuters) - President Joe Biden on Wednesday is convening a meeting of U.S. officials and private sector companies, including FedEx, to talk about ongoing efforts to address supply chain disruptions.

Biden created a task force in June to address the issue, and the White House argues it has made "significant progress to alleviate bottlenecks that are rooted in the global pandemic."

Last month, Walmart Inc (WMT.N) Chief Executive Doug McMillon said a decision to extend port hours was having a positive impact on the flow of goods. Still, supply chain issues continue to affect many U.S. industries.
