Elon Musk, the DOGE effect and the risks to US shipping trades

  • Trump’s new trade policies will require more federal manpower to enforce but that manpower is being gutted
  • Concerns raised at TPM25 over CBP and FMC manpower as well as ability to enforce USTR proposal on port taxes for China-built ships
  • Concerns on FMC go beyond manpower and include whether it will continue to be a truly independent agency

US President Donald Trump appears to be enacting policies without taking the practical consequences into account. Federal payrolls are being slashed at the very time that more federal workers will be needed to enforce maritime-related policies
