European Ports Jammed Amid U.S.–China Trade Tensions

Hundreds of cargo vessels have been stuck at major European ports due to sudden rerouting and canceled orders stemming from new U.S. tariffs. Proposed legislation may introduce high fees on Chinese-built vessels entering U.S. ports, which could lead to further supply chain disruptions and global imbalances.

Impact: Port congestion, rerouting issues, and longer delivery timelines for international shipments.
