The U.S. intelligence community should monitor global supply chains as part of a sweeping goal to decouple the nation’s economy from foreign adversaries and advance American economic interests, according to the Trump administration’s newly published National Security Strategy.
Published late on Thursday, the 33-page strategy document adds to Trump administration direction to federal agencies to treat economic policy as a national-security matter.
U.S. spy agencies “will monitor key supply chains and technological advances around the world to ensure we understand and mitigate vulnerabilities and threats to American security and prosperity,” the strategy reads.
Security and defense agencies have long monitored or sought to bring awareness to supply-chain issues to ensure operational security and the protection of U.S. forces; more comprehensive monitoring would require vaster efforts to discover and track where American companies and foreign rivals ship, produce and stockpile their goods and services around the world.
