US business leaders sound the alarm on US-Canada border blockade

Three of America's largest business groups are warning the trucker-inspired protests along the US-Canada border are further straining stressed-out supply chains.

In a joint statement Thursday night, the US Chamber of Commerce, Business Roundtable and National Association of Manufacturers urged a swift resolution to the blockages.

"The disruptions we are seeing at the US-Canada border -- at the Detroit-Windsor Ambassador Bridge and at other crossings -- are adding to the significant supply chain strains on manufacturers and other businesses in the United States," the trade groups said.

Access to three border crossings in Michigan, North Dakota and Montana have been cut off by truckers and other demonstrators on the Canadian side of the border. The situation can't help -- and could worsen -- the historic bout of inflation hitting the US economy.
