Defense News: WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump and Congress are on track to receive recommendations aimed at strengthening the health of the defense-industrial base, a top Pentagon industrial base policy official said Monday.
The guidance is due from a study of the industrial base that Trump ordered in July. Led by a government-spanning task force, working groups have since internally presented interim findings, which identified risks in the industrial base.
“Now we are taking those findings and turning them into recommendations for addressing those risks. We’re still in the process of that, and we’re on track to do that in mid-April,” Jerry McGinn, the principal deputy director for the Defense Department’s office of manufacturing and industrial base policy, said Monday at a New America think tank event.
