"Now we're seeing a lot of factories in China shut down," Walsh told FOX Business’. "So we're going to see another potential issue here with supply chain issues that's not caused, quite honestly, by America and American workers and the American economy. But it's a global issue."
While Walsh maintained that the federal government should still invest in specific sectors which help the American worker, he further warned global supply chain issues outside the U.S. can worsen"You talked about supply chain issues, you talked about shipping company issues," Walsh mentioned, "those happen to be not in the United States of America. They're in China where the issues are. So again, what happens in one part of the world affects all of us.
