Supply chain problems are world wide

 Epoch Times:

One of World’s Largest Port Operators Warns Global Supply Chain ‘Crisis’ Will Last Longer Than Expected

...

 Some analysts and other port operators have said that supply chains are struggling to keep pace with demand and deal with labor disruptions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdowns, and quarantines.

Sulayem’s DP World is one of the largest operators of marine ports and cargo terminals in the world, with hubs in Africa, India, Russia, Europe, and the Americas.

“Even now, every time they see an incident of COVID in China, they shut down a port,” he said. “Many manufacturers around the world are delayed by as much as three years because they can’t get components from China. They’re taking a very, very aggressive approach.”

Suggesting a move away from relying on Chinese markets and possibly the regime’s controversial Belt and Road Initiative, Sulayem noted that there’s “huge potential in India and that reflects in DP World’s investments. Africa continues to grow, and there’s also Southeast Asia, mainly Indonesia.”

The world’s largest shipping firm, A.P. Moller-Maersk, warned that bottlenecks could last longer than anticipated.

I do sense a lack of leadership in the US in dealing with the problem.  Is there a good excuse for having ships wait months to unload their cargo?  Why are California political officials and those in Washington trying to unwind the local bottlenecks,  It is the kind of problem that a builder like Trump could probably manage better.
