Administration officials announced they would cut bureaucratic red tape in hopes of getting more formula to stores more quickly, call on the FTC and state attorneys general to crack down on formula price-gouging, and increase imports of formula.
by retail insights group Datasembly, the amount of out-of-stock baby formula across the country sat at 43 percent as of the end of last week, more than a 10 percent increase from the same point last month.
The administration is also working to increase imports of formula — the United States produces 98 percent of its formula supply, according to an administration fact sheet — probably from countries like Chile, Ireland, Mexico and the Netherlands.Speaking to reporters Thursday afternoon, Psaki said Biden had been briefed on the formula shortage before this week, and she also stressed that the administration understands the magnitude of the crisis.
Republicans have painted the administration as callous, waiting until the shortage became untenable to finally address it. Republicans seized on an Air Force One briefing by incoming White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, where sheAdvertisement Trump’s staunchest supporters took to the House floor Tuesday to demand that fellow lawmakers prioritize helping American families over Ukrainians. Their “America First” argument grew after Rep. Kat Cammack claimed in Facebook Live videos that the administration was “sending pallets of baby formula to the border” after obtaining pictures from a border agent working at the Ursula processing facility in McAllen, Tex.
