The Port of Long Beach, located in southern California, is one of the largest container ports in the United States. Recently, due to the impact of the US tariff policy, the number of cargo ships arriving at Long Beach Port has been drastically reduced recently. A large number of people in related industries may face unemployment, and the local economy may be hit hard. Mario Cordero, CEO of the Port of Long Beach in California, said, “The number of ships expected to arrive in port from May 4 to May 10 decreased by 44% compared to the same period last year. This is a huge drop. We can judge that the volume of goods arriving in Hong Kong in the second and third quarters of this year will drop sharply. From the standpoint of port managers, our view is that the smaller the volume of goods, the fewer jobs.”
