White House Council on Supply Chain Resilience

This executive order establishes the White House Council on Supply Chain Resilience, co-chaired by the National Security Advisor and the President's economic policy advisor, with membership from 31 cabinet-level officials and agency heads. The Council is tasked with coordinating federal efforts to strengthen supply chain resilience, conducting quadrennial reviews of critical industries, and submitting its first report to the President by December 31, 2024. The order supersedes the review process from the prior administration's EO 14017 while reaffirming its underlying supply chain principles.

Who is ordered

Timeline

Immediate

  • Council leadership structure formalized
  • Agency senior official designations required within 30 days

Risks & tensions

  • Large membership (31+ agencies) may create coordination challenges; effectiveness depends on Co-Chairs' leverage
  • Council has advisory/coordinating role without direct operational authority over agencies
  • Climate and worker empowerment objectives integrated with national security goals—potential prioritization tensions
  • First report due December 31, 2024 allows ~6.5 months; ambitious scope may yield superficial analysis
  • Requirement to 'prevent monopolization' while also encouraging concentrated domestic production presents policy tension
  • Explicit supersession of EO 14017 section 5(c) signals deliberate break from prior review timeline but maintains underlying framework
