U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris said issues stemming from a global chip shortage are “very real,” as she heads to Asia on a trip aimed at building trade relationships with countries seen as crucial to the supply chain.
Harris, who will visit Singapore and Vietnam where she will emphasize the U.S.’s role as a global leader, said Friday the country had both an economic and security interest related to the region, and how dependent it is on its supply chains.
