WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo said Thursday it is time to get “aggressive” in addressing the worsening semiconductor chips shortage that has caused automakers and others to cut production and impacted thousands of U.S. workers.

“It’s time to get more aggressive. The situation is not getting better, in some ways it is getting worse,” Raimondo told Reuters in an interview. According to Raimondo, a voluntary request to information regarding chips for industry was issued this week. It will provide more information about supply chain. Her goal is transparency. This allows us to try and identify bottlenecks and to predict future challenges.
