Abstract: 
In a dispensation defined by globalization and rapid technological advancements, sustainable supply chains have emerged as pivotal mechanisms for addressing the many-sided challenges encompassing economic growth, environmental sustainability, and policy alignment. This article looks into the transformative role of technology-integrated supply chains, exploring how innovations such as artificial intelligence [AI], blockchain, and the Internet of Things [IoT] enhance resilience, foster economic prosperity, and bridge gaps in global trade. By integrating advanced technologies, supply chains can optimize resource efficiency, mitigate risks, and contribute to national security and stability. The study examines the interplay between domestic policy goals and global stability, highlighting the critical role of sustainable supply chains in aligning with foreign policy objectives and driving long-term economic resilience. Through the lens of machine learning methodologies, including Support Vector Machines [SVMs], the article analyses real-world data to demonstrate the effectiveness of technology-driven innovations in addressing supply chain inefficiencies. Key findings underscore how such innovations enable supply chains to adapt to dynamic market demands while ensuring environmental stewardship and public health outcomes. Moreover, the article identifies challenges in implementing advanced supply chain solutions, such as data limitations, technological adoption barriers, and scalability constraints. By offering strategic insights and a framework for policymakers, industries, and researchers, this work emphasizes the necessity of balancing sustainability with economic imperatives. It concludes with recommendations for leveraging cutting-edge technologies to design resilient and sustainable supply chains that harmonize global trade, policy objectives, and environmental priorities, paving the way for inclusive and equitable economic growth.
