You know, due to the president\u2019s leadership, we now have the ports open 24\/7 and the two largest and busiest ports,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>During an interview on Sunday, Raimondo claimed the U.S. economy could not be reopened overnight and downplayed the severity of the supply glut in the Port of Los Angeles. This comes despite the number of cargo ships stuck in the port, which has reportedly risen from 100 to 169 in recent days as Biden continues to pay people not to work.<\/p>\n<p>However, Raimondo has been blaming the private sector for Biden\u2019s policy failures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are backups. And as I said, this isn\u2019t something that can be fixed overnight, but the important thing is, you know, fundamentally, supply chains and logistics are run by the private sector,\u201d said Raimondo. \u201cPeople say to me, will Christmas gifts be delivered? To which I say, call FedEx. You know that isn\u2019t what the government does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Economists say excessive regulations by Biden and California Democrats have crippled trucking and port operations. They added the supply glut is beneficial to large corporations, while it\u2019s hurting small and medium-sized businesses.<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo says fixing supply chain issues will take &quot;a little bit of time&quot;\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/KhC6-O8jUzI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/1-dead-9-injured-in-texas-halloween-party-shooting\/\">1 Dead, 9 Injured In Texas Halloween Party Shooting<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo speaks to the press during the inaugural U.S.-EU Trade and Technology Council in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on September 29, 2021.
