American Exporters Face Global Competition Post-Tariffs

American agricultural exporters face challenges due to trade wars and tariffs, leading to a shift in global markets and impacting the transportation system. Tariffs have caused trading partners to seek alternatives, such as Australian almonds instead of American ones. The trade dispute with China has also led to long-term market changes, affecting American farmers. Other policies, like proposed fees on Chinese vessels, have raised concerns. Looking ahead, discussions about increasing federal truck weight limits, potential railroad mergers, automation at ports, and reclassification of independent contractors could significantly impact the industry.The Daily News Now! — Every city.
