The White House plans to hold a meeting with lawmakers Wednesday to discuss supply-chain issues, including a global chip shortage that is hurting U.S. auto makers, according to people familiar with the plans. President Biden has made supply-chain problems a priority and the White House has said an executive order is imminent. The White House didn’t comment Tuesday. A White House official previously said the administration had asked embassies to identify ways foreign countries and companies could help address the chip shortage. “You’ve all seen that auto plants throughout America are closed because they can’t get the chips," Mr. Schumer said.
