Psaki, however, wanted to make it clear the Biden administration was well ahead of the curve.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, that\u2019s not actually true, the President formed a task force at the very beginning of the administration and what we know for the global supply chain issues is that they are multifaceted,\u201d she stated. \u201cRight now, we\u2019ve been focusing on the ports and issues at the ports. And what leaders at these ports will tell you is that they\u2019ve seen an increase in volume dramatically as it relates to last year, a year ago.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The former CNN contributor also wanted to illustrate the role COVID-19 played in creating the supply calamity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOne of them (reasons) is the fact that manufacturing sites around the world have been shut down because of COVID,\u201d Psaki continued. \u201cWe\u2019ve been working to be the largest supplier of COVID vaccines to countries around the world for a range of reasons. It\u2019s morally right, but also to help address those global supply chain issues and the impact manufacturing and the slowdown in manufacturing can have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The press secretary went on to point to the truck driver shortage in the U.S. having been an issue for the entire year and said the administration would be working with unions to hire more shipping employees.<\/p>\n<p>A very large reason for the supply chain crisis, according to Psaki, is the success of the Biden administration\u2019s economic policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs the economy is turned back on, more people had expendable income, wages, to buy more goods,\u2019 she explained. \u201cMore people are buying more goods. People have started to also buy more things online than going into stores and so, that is also impacting the volume and there\u2019s a need for more.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This comes as cargo is backed-up at our nations\u2019 ports with major doubts being raised as to whether shoppers will receive their holiday gifts on time. As many experts point out, however, there are many essential goods which are also facing major delays, including refrigerators and dishwashers.<\/p>\n<p>The White House is considering utilizing the National Guard to help alleviate supply line congestion.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/dozens-of-unvaccinated-wash-state-ferry-workers-set-to-be-fired\/\">Dozens Of Unvaccinated Wash.
