I was just watching a You Tube article regarding 7 major shipping ports either banning all US freight whether import or export, or seriously restricting the flow and adding multiple additional inspections to slow what is going through even more.
Container freight insurance has gone up 216% for any freight going into or out of the US, citing serious trade tensions causing major disruptions.
Huge area of each of these ports are full of US containers full of goods that aren't going anywhere, while other ships in transit have been forced to change where they were going because they can no longer get unloaded or loaded at any of these major international ports. This, in turn, has forced suppliers to change freight movements from their factories or warehouses, to travel a lot further to a port that will handle US cargo .... or simply cancel the contracts.
Many countries are changing their supply routes to BRICS supporting nations to avoid having to deal in anything to do with the USA.
Trumps isolationist policies are working, he is isolating the US from the world economy .... The 2025 Project and the Heritage Foundation
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025 is who is really calling the shots, they just tell Trump what to do .... and he is not the sharpest tool in the box, so he believes everything they tell him and this will get the USA back on track .... but their track, not the track that will benefit all on the US citizens, just the rich ones .....
Seems they didn't think about the rest of the world not being reliant on the US economy, or being forced into only dealing in the USD, and now it's seriously looking like there will be no way back from the mess they have made.
So many grass roots US companies are pulling up stumps and moving else where, there will be very little industrialisation remaining in the US to employ all the people.
With no money coming in to pay all the great plans they had because the citizens won't have any money to pay the tariffs, and no export revenue or tax $$ flowing in, the rich who thought they were laying the groundwork for a great time of prosperity for themselves may have shot themselves in the foot .... destroying the US while they were at it ......
Best be prepared for the next great depression, this time there will be a lot more hungry people and they will be far more desperate to get their hands on what those who have put something aside and built up as a safety net.
Unlike the last great depression, people these days aren't prepared for what it will mean to do it tough ....
