Affected by the “tariff storm” set off by US President Trump, US shipping trade is facing the risk of sudden interruption. Freight data company Vizion's latest report shows that US import orders showed signs of collapse after surging in the first quarter. Freight data company Vizion compared data from March 24 to 31, 2025 and the following week, the total number of pre-ordered TEUs fell sharply by 49% month-on-month, and overall US imports fell sharply by 64% month-on-month. According to the analysis, tariffs have caused great uncertainty, and shippers urgently put on the brakes when conditions change. At the same time, US agriculture is also increasingly worried that trade escalation may trigger an export crisis. On April 14, Global Network quoted CNN as reporting that the “tariff war” between China and the US is likely to have dealt a heavy blow to American farmers first. The president of the American Soybean Association warned that if this situation continues for a long time, a significant number of farmers will go bankrupt.
