Baby formula shortage: Psaki says using Defense Production Act 'on the table,' WH response not delayed

Asked for a timeline to resolving the nationwide supply chain shortages, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said the White House could not offer a specific timeframe.

During her final press conference at the White House, Psaki fielded a series of questions about the ongoing U.S. supply chain troubles. Most notably, the country has reached a critical need for more baby formula after a recall wiped out huge amounts of stock in U.S. stores.

"This is a really important question, but it's hard for us to answer from here," Psaki said. She said no decision has been made on the Defense Production Act, a law where the government can compel a private company to produce a particular product.
