The inauguration of U.S. President-Elect Donald Trump is anticipated to initiate major shifts in global trade policies, including imposing tariffs of 10-20% on imports and up to 60% on Chinese goods, along with reducing corporate taxes and enforcing stricter immigration measures. Businesses are expected to preemptively increase inventory levels to mitigate the impact of these tariffs, potentially disrupting logistics networks and raising shipping rates. This environment could lead to longer delivery times and heightened demand for freight services, particularly in preparation for the holiday season.
