US supply chain task force to discuss Baltimore bridge collapse
==========

A U.S. federal supply chain task force will meet on Wednesday to assess the Baltimore bridge collapse and port closure. The Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore, Maryland, collapsed on Tuesday after a freight ship crashed into it, leaving six construction workers presumed dead after falling into the frigid water below. U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said the Biden administration did not want financing concerns to hold up bridge reconstruction and that insurance payments would likely be made to cover the costs. The supply chain task force, set up to ease COVID-19-era port blockages, will review the latest information on the Baltimore port situation.
