The Topic:

Logistics costs have skyrocketed. Backlogs in moving goods have extended to months. The Trade War is still raging and there is little tariff relief in sight. Port congestion is at an all-time high. There are still shortages of supplies and equipment around the world. We’ve never seen so much turbulence in global supply chains.  Is there any good news? Are there solutions on the horizon? Why most companies are now considering sourcing and manufacturing in America for the first time in 20 years.
