A significant concern pointing toward current vulnerabilities is the American dependency on Taiwan for semiconductors and other high-tech components. This reliance forms part of a broader call to action for the U.S. to re-industrialize, ensuring that crucial products, especially pharmaceuticals, are made domestically.
