CNN Politics | Biden says he's considering deploying the National Guard to ease supply chain crisis
President Joe Biden said Thursday evening he's considering deploying the National Guard to help ease stress on the US supply chain as it prompts growing concern about the economy, prompting a White House official to swiftly throw cold water on the plan.
"Yes, absolutely, positively. I will do that," Biden said when asked by moderator Anderson Cooper during CNN's town hall in Baltimore if he was prepared to call up the National Guard. The President said he would specifically consider calling up National Guard members for trucking to help solve a shortage of drivers "if we can't move -- increase the number of truckers, which we are in a process of doing." |
