As tensions between the U.S. and China continue to escalate, U.S. farmers, ocean carriers, and logistics experts are warning that the country is ill-prepared to win an economic war against China, especially when it comes to the global container shipping market. Many of the ships operating in the U.S. are built by Chinese manufacturers, which raises concerns about reliance on China for critical shipping infrastructure. U.S. farmers, who rely heavily on exports, fear that disruptions in shipping could affect their ability to sell goods abroad, especially given the global nature of supply chains. Similarly, ocean carriers are concerned that retaliatory tariffs or disruptions in the shipping industry could significantly increase costs and reduce the flow of goods. This warning highlights the vulnerabilities in U.S. supply chains, with the agricultural and logistics sectors particularly at risk if tensions continue to escalate.
