Port of LA prepares for major trade slowdown in wake of Chinese tariff hike.
Port of L.A. Executive Director Gene Seroka warns shipping could drop 35%, raising concerns over summer inventory shortages.
Nearly half of Port of L.A.’s trade comes from China, says Seroka, as 145% Trump tariff raises import costs.
Experts warn of possible store shelf shortages as American retailers scale down Chinese imports.
Trump claims tariffs aim to revive U.S. manufacturing, but Seroka warns it’s a long road—and consumers will feel the cost.
Tariffs face backlash from Longshore union, which says they unfairly target the working class.
