Port of LA Sees Busiest June Ever as Tariffs ‘Whipsaw' Imports
The busiest trade hub in the US saw container traffic rebound last month after a slump in May, as importers grapple with volatility driven by President Donald Trump's trade war.
The Port of Los Angeles processed some 892,000 twenty-foot-equivalent units or TEUs, according to executive director Gene Seroka. That's a record for June and up 32% from the previous month. Overall, volumes in the first half of the year were up 5% from 2024.
