Global Freight and Trade War Outlook - May 2025

We were joined by Jonathan Gold, VP of Supply Chain and Customs Policy at the National Retail Federation, who shared his insights on the container market and how the trade war – and China-US pause – might impact freight volumes, peak season and consumer spending moving forward.
