President Donald Trump’s trade war suffered a big setback with many of his administration’s tariffs ruled illegal by a federal appeals court last Friday. Billions of dollars in trade duties may potentially need to be refunded to businesses as trade deals struck by the White House with other nations are thrown into question.
But for now, the underlying stance within the shipping industry and supply chain has not changed, according to logistics professionals, with the court decision a stay is in place until October 14 contributing to the uncertainty that has dogged business decision making throughout 2025.
