The global semiconductor shortage and other supply chain troubles will be a focus of Vice President Kamala Harris’s trip to Southeast Asia later this month, where she also aims to shore up U.S. relations with countries at China’s doorstep.
Harris’s team plans to field questions from U.S. business and labor leaders before she travels to Singapore and Vietnam, a senior administration official said. The Biden-Harris administration pledged to give unions a voice in U.S. trade policy, a move that has drawn criticism from members of the business community.
