China News Service, November 10, according to foreign media reports, as part of the US President Biden's $1 trillion infrastructure bill, the White House will quickly spend $17 billion to transform US ports.

The White House stated that $17 billion will be used to "improve the infrastructure of coastal ports, inland ports and waterways, and border land ports of entry."
Biden will visit the Port of Baltimore on the 10th local time to promote its infrastructure plan.
According to reports, the bridges or port depths of many ports in the United States limit the ability of these ports to receive larger ships, and the surge in cargo has put pressure on land operations in some ports.
Currently, the U.S. commodity supply chain is encountering unprecedented challenges. The two largest ports in the United States, the Port of Los Angeles and the Port of Long Beach, are experiencing a massive accumulation of containers.
In mid-October, the Biden government has required the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, in order to speed up the port's unloading speed and alleviate the supply chain crisis.
