President Biden s top national security and economic advisers are trying to address a critical supply crunch that is slowing U.S. automobile manufacturing and threatens other sectors, including national security, according to experts.
National security adviser Jake Sullivan, National Economic Council director Brian Deese, and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimodo will meet with executives from 19 companies to discuss growing shortage of semiconductors, a key component of many computerized electronics.
The White House summit, which will be conducted virtually, will include those three companies, as well as computer companies like Dell and HP; AT&T; Alphabet, the parent company of Google; and defense contractor Northrop Grumman, among others. President Biden plans to attend briefly.
