The Port of Los Angeles reported a 2.9% rise in February container traffic as importers accelerated shipments before Lunar New Year factory closures in Asia. Executive Director Gene Seroka cited steady cargo volumes last month but warned of growing supply chain uncertainty due to shifting U.S. trade policies under President Trump’s second term. Ongoing Middle East conflicts further strain global logistics, compounding tariff-related disruptions that could impact future port activity and shipping costs. The Lunar New Year surge reflects seasonal trends, though analysts note this year’s gains were modest compared to pre-pandemic growth rates. Port officials are monitoring geopolitical risks and policy changes that may alter trade flows, with potential ripple effects on U.S. retail inventories and consumer prices.
