White House Council on Supply Chain Resilience

Executive Order 14123 of June 14, 2024

White House Council on Supply Chain Resilience

By the authority vested in me as President by the
Constitution and the laws of the United States of
America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

Section 1. Policy. As described in Executive Order
14017 of February 24, 2021 (America's Supply Chains),
it is the policy of my Administration to strengthen the
enduring resilience of America's supply chains. The
United States needs resilient, diverse, and secure
supply chains to ensure our economic prosperity, public
health, and national security. Pandemics and other
biological threats, cyber attacks, climate stressors
and extreme weather events, transnational corruption,
terrorist attacks, geopolitical disputes, unfair
economic competition, and other disruptive conditions
can reduce critical infrastructure, manufacturing, and
processing capacity and the availability of critical
goods, materials, and services. Building resilient
American supply chains will necessitate enhancing
domestic manufacturing capacity, supporting America's
competitive edge in research and development,
encouraging innovation, reinforcing critical
infrastructure, and creating well-paying jobs. Building
resilient American supply chains will also provide a
foundation to strengthen prosperity, advance the fight
against climate change, enhance national emergency
preparedness, and encourage economic growth across the
Nation.

More resilient supply chains are secure and diverse.
Characteristics of resilient supply chains include
greater domestic production; a diverse and agile
supplier base; built-in redundancies; a reliable
transportation system; secure critical infrastructure;
adequate stockpiles; safe and secure data networks;
reliable food systems; and a world-class, globally
competitive American manufacturing base and workforce.
Close cooperation on building global supply chain
resilience with allies and partners who share our
values will foster collective economic and national
security, encourage innovation, and strengthen the
capacity to respond to and recover from international
disasters and emergencies.

Sec. 2. Definitions. For purposes of this order:

(a) ``Agency'' has the meaning given to that term
in Executive Order 14017.
(b) ``Critical goods and materials'' has the
meaning given to that term in Executive Order 14017.
(c) ``Other essential goods, materials, and
services'' means goods, materials, and services that
are essential to national and economic security,
emergency preparedness, or to advance the policy set
forth in section 1 of this order, but not included
within the definition of ``critical goods and
materials.''
(d) ``Critical infrastructure'' means assets,
systems, and networks, whether physical or virtual,
that are so vital to the United States that their
incapacitation or destruction would have a debilitating
effect on national security, economic security,
national public health or safety, or any combination
thereof.

Sec. 3. Coordination. (a) This order supplements and
reaffirms the principles governing America's supply
chains established in Executive Order 14017. Any
provisions of Executive Order 14017 not amended in this
order shall remain in effect.

(b) Notwithstanding section 2 of Executive Order
14017, the Assistant to the President for National
