European ports ‘overflowing’ as Trump tariffs cause congestion

FinancialTimes writes, ’Barges and container ships face unusually long waits at major hubs with problems expected to last several months’.

’Donald Trump’s tariff policies combined with low river levels are causing Europe’s worst supply chain congestion since the coronavirus pandemic, shipping and logistics companies warn. Barges have been left waiting days to pick up goods and container ships have faced long waits, with the problems — worst at the ports of Rotterdam, Antwerp and Hamburg — expected to persist for at least several months’.
