U.S. trade is already falling amid dire warnings
Merchandise trade between China and the U.S. is likely to collapse if the current tariffs on both sides remain in place.
- How much of that collapse has already started, however, is unclear.
The big picture: While some transpacific container-shipping routes have been canceled or changed to avoid U.S. ports, many ships are still headed for Long Beach, Oakland, and other U.S. destinations.
