Buttigieg appeared on a video call from Washington D.C. with Southern California port officials to emphasize that clearing the backlog is a top priority for the administration.

The executive director of the Port of Los Angeles says there has been improvement in the last month, including a 29% drop in cargo sitting unloaded for nine days or more.

He says short-term solutions to correcting bottlenecks include encouraging more 18 to 21 year olds to begin careers in truck driving, as well as steps like operating the ports 24/7.

Buttigieg's office says the infrastructure package includes almost $50 billion for ports and airports nationwide to strengthen supply chains.
