This is the weekly round up of everything happening in global supply chains.

Governments in Europe and the United States are trying to deflect criticism for consumer price inflation at its highest level for 30 years in the UK at 5.5%  and at 7.5% in the US the highest figure in  40 years. Not since the 1980s has the US seen this level of inflation.

Canada - Ottawa protests disrupting the border crossing between the US and Canada have been brought under control and goods are flowing again.
