BREAKING The White House announced President JoeBiden will invoke the Defense Production Act to address the national baby formula shortage on Wednesday night.
The Biden administration is also launching Operation Fly Formula to accelerate the importation of infant formula by using commercial aircraft to fly it to the United States.
“Directing firms to prioritize and allocate the production of key infant formula inputs will help increase production and speed up in supply chains,” the White House said of Biden’s DPA move.“To speed up the import of infant formula and get more formula to stores as soon as possible, President Biden has directed the Department of Health and Human Services and U.S. Department of Agriculture to use Department of Defense commercial aircraft to pick up overseas infant formula that meets U.S.
The shortage of baby formula has joined inflation, broader supply-chain issues, and stock market uncertainty as issues undermining confidence in Biden’s economic stewardship during a midterm election year.
