In this Video Explainer episode of The Freight Buyers’ Club, host Mike King delivers a strategic visual briefing on the latest US-China tariff developments — and how they’re impacting global container markets, supply chains, and BCO planning in the summer of 2025.

Designed for C-suite decision-makers and logistics professionals, this explainer breaks down:

• What the new US–China “tariff truce” actually means
• The impact of a 90-day window on transpacific trade volumes and rates – is an early peak season brewing?
• Strategic insights from leaders at the Port of Long Beach, Freightos, and the Global Shippers Association
• SME survival tactics: Logistics veteran John McCauley on stock strategies, FX hedges, and upstream supplier moves
• How Red Sea risk, Suez uncertainty, and global overcapacity could whipsaw container rates
