The anxiety is that tit-for-tat tariffs between the two economic superpowers will crimp shipments, denting port revenues. Kurt Nagle, head of the American Association of Port Authorities, called the state of play "concerning" following the latest back and forth this week between the US and China." The total amount of tariffs and international retaliation affect 10% of the total trade in American ports," or about $160 billion in revenues, Nagle said.
