"The supply chain issue is linked to a whole host of policy decisions that have been made by this administration," Chao told FOX Business’ Stuart Varney. "It's an issue about inflation."

"This is putting increasing demand at precisely the time when the supply chain is actually quite still fragile and vulnerable," Chao said.
