President Joe Biden is set to meet with infant formula manufacturers as his administration works to ease nationwide shortages.
The administration's strategy calls for importing foreign supplies and using the Defense Production Act to speed domestic production.

U.S. regulators and Abbott announced an agreement last month that would help pave the way for reopening the plant, though production has not restarted.
