President Biden is preparing to sign an executive order, which will review the United States’ ability to obtain certain things that it is having trouble achieving. On the list are semiconductors, one of the main reasons for the current scarcity of PS5 (and video card).
How CNBC reported earlier this month, a chip shortage – caused by pandemic disruptions in global supply chains – is wreaking havoc around the world, from car manufacturers to hardware companies like AMD and Qualcomm, and this is reaching places like Sony and Nvidia, because you can’t build PlayStations and semiconductor GeForce cards.
AP’s report in the executive order it says that the review aims 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 necessary components, the country needs to manufacture these things alone.
It should be noted that this is an order to initiate an Review, do not implement anything he recommends. As far as we know, the president can receive this review, let’s say that building more things in America is a good idea, so don’t do anything about it. Like what he promised checks for $ 2,000 and didn’t do that either.
