The United States suddenly announced!
Additional charges will be levied from 14 October 2025 on ships owned, operated or built by the Eastern powers and on all foreign-built car ships.
From October 14, 2025, the United States will charge additional fees on ships owned, operated or built by the Eastern powers, as well as on all foreign-built car ships, if this policy is implemented, I am afraid that it will move the stone to knock its feet.
If the news is true, the United States will probably slap itself in the face this time. Repeated irrational competition will eventually make the United States suffer its own consequences.
In fact, the calculation of the cost of the United States is not smart, in terms of the shipping market, this year should be the high season of September, but the shipping price of the United States has jumped dramatically, and some routing prices have even fallen to the cost of ship companies.
More importantly, even if the United States imposes additional fees, goods may not be sent directly to the United States. Many goods may be sent to neighboring countries and then transshipped to the United States. As a result, U.S. ports may not even have basic business volume. Maintain.
Earlier, Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles, said that due to the impact of tariff policies, the freight volume handled by the Port of Los Angeles in May was about 25% lower than expected, and about half of the dock workers involved in port operations were unemployed. Global shipping analysis agency Drury predicts that freight volume in North America will decline by 5.5% and 4.6% in 2026.
Moody's also lowered its outlook for the U.S. port in 2025 from "stable" to "negative", which data are all warning the United States that trade protectionism will only put its economy in trouble.
Faced with the U.S. measures, I feel that we can plan to charge the first US$500 per person for American flights to China, US$300 per person for American Boeing flights to China, and US$200 per person for Boeing flights from other countries to China. This move of "treating others by doing their own medicine" may allow the United States to feel the cost of a trade war.
To be honest, I am more interested in how the United States has only more than 300 million people, how can the United States create one-third of the global consumer market?
From the data point of view, U.S. consumer spending in 2023 will be US $18.8 trillion, of which 12.7 trillion will be spent on services such as medical treatment, renting a house, paying tuition fees, and litigation. One-third of consumption.
Even so, the U.S.'s commodity consumption power has been widened by China. For example, the U.S. sold 15.9 million new cars last year, while China sold 31.44 million new cars almost twice that of the United States. The so-called "high consumption" in the United States is more about paying more for the same product than consuming more products.
While the U.S. consumer market appears to be huge, there are many hidden dangers, and its consumption patterns rely heavily on borrowing and financial market prosperity, and consumer markets are vulnerable to impact once the economic situation changes.
Moreover, behind the high consumption of the United States is huge debt. On the 7th of this month, the size of the United States debt exceeded US$36.2 trillion, equivalent to the sum of the total economic volumes of China, Germany, Japan, India, and the United Kingdom. Such a huge debt will eventually become a heavy burden on the U.S. economy.
Nowadays, the trade protectionist policy of the United States not only harms the interests of other countries, but also makes its own economy turn red lights frequently. A report released by the World Trade Organization shows that due to the impact of the US tariff policy, the global trade volume of goods is expected to decline by 0.2% in 2025.-1.5%, with the decline of trade in goods in North America being particularly significant, and exports are expected to decline by 12.6%.
This makes people think, can these U.S. policies really benefit them? Or will it only put the global economy into deeper trouble? What do you think of this move by the United States? You may wish to leave a message for discussion in the comment area.
