International credit rating agency Moody's has revised down its 2025 outlook for U.S. ports from stable to negative, predicting that cargo volumes could decrease by 7 to 12 percent due to the U.S. administration's recent tariff hikes, according to U.S. media reports. Maritime consultancy Drewry also estimates that global container shipping will drop one percent in 2025, with a sharper 5.5 percent decline projected for North America. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation warns the region risks losing 500 billion U.S. dollars in economic activity, potentially affecting two million workers as port activity slows. These forecasts highlight growing concerns about the economic consequences of U.S. trade policies on domestic and global supply chains. SHOTLIST: FILE: Washington D.C., USA - Date Unknown 1.
