President Biden is preparing to sign an executive order, one that will examine the ability of the United States to seize certain issues it is currently facing. Among the lists are semiconductors, one of the main reasons behind the current shortage of PS5 (and graphics card).
As CNBC reported earlier this month, a shortage of chips – caused by pandemic disruptions to global supply chains – is wreaking havoc around the world, from carmakers to hardware companies like AMD and Qualcomm, and this is leaking to places like Sony and Nvidia, because you can’t build PlayStations and GeForce cards without semiconductors.
APs report The executive says the review is aimed at “the fragility of vital supply chains” and will investigate whether, if a global situation makes it more difficult for the United States to import the necessary components, the country must manufacture these things itself.
It should be noted that this is an order to launch a revision, not to implement anything he recommends. For all we know, the president might get this review, let’s say building more things in America is a good idea, then do nothing about it. I like how promised $ 2,000 checks nor did he do that.
