Trade Wars affecting Louisiana Ports

People have no idea what’s going on on the other side of that levee,” said port Executive Director Paul Aucoin, nodding toward the grassy ridge beyond which 800 vessels can ply his portion of the Mississippi at any time. Tariffs, he said, “could cause a drop in tonnage, a drop in crops, a drop in everything.” Consequences can already be seen. Aluminum shipments through New Orleans are half what they were at this time last year, according to Harbor Intelligence, an analysis firm. In the first quarter, the amount of traded goods slowed along the Port of South Louisiana: Animal-feed exports declined 31 percent from the same period last year, soybean exports are down 20 percent, and imports of chemicals and fertilizers have been halved. The slowdown doesn’t bode well for the half-million Louisianans whose jobs rely on that flow of goods.

Most people in South LA are patriots who won't melt at the first sign of strife.

Yes they will.
I've seen how they react when gas prices drop.

I'm no economic expert, but what do Trump's import tariffs have to do with a decrease in exports?

Let me just point out one thing.
The author of that article is trying really hard to tie the current import situation to fears of a trade war allegedly brought on by Trump's negotiating strategy. In her mind, Trump is ruining the economy.
She kind of overlooks the fact that the goods currently in port were most likely halfway across the ocean when all of this Trade War talk started. Hell, the markets are just starting to react to the fears of a trade war. The orders for the goods in port were place a year or more ago, shipped months ago and are just now arriving in port. Are we really supposed to believe that the shipment of goods from overseas has reacted FASTER than the Markets?
GTFO.

(see author's other activities above. she's another sky screamer who wants desperately to see the US fail under Trump and ties everything back to him)

It doesn't matter what happens under Trump, there are people who will defend him at all cost.

so her stats are wrong? Because that's what matters . I know facts are hard in politics but facts aren't political they are just facts.
