Securing America’s critical industries
Economic security and national security are increasingly hard to separate. America’s industrial resilience now depends on secure supplies of critical minerals, reliable supply chains, advanced manufacturing and a skilled workforce. The challenge is to build the industrial strength needed to respond quickly and compete over the long term.
Supply chains, industrial strength and geopolitical power are now closely linked. America’s defence and manufacturing base must adapt to a world of fragile supply chains, shifting conflicts and strategic competition. Government, industry and investors will need to work together to expand production and strengthen resilience.
America’s industrial revival depends on a new generation of skilled workers. Demand is rising across industries from shipbuilding to digital infrastructure. Meeting it will require faster routes into good jobs, stronger links between employers and educators and clearer career paths in sectors vital to the country’s future.
