Can the USA even build a new ICBM without using made-in-china electronics? And then there is not just the missile itself, but all the ground support equipment.

Most likely yes. The US military is well aware of its supply chain, and realizes that in times of war you don't want to have part of it in enemy's hands.

Here's a visualization of F35's supply chain [1]. You can only NATO and other close allies like Israel, Japan, South Korea and Australia.
