"Trust, but verify." -- famous saying
I trust the major news producers, and saying that as a result of tariffs, there should be a reduction in trade.
But, I go to verify in the way I can think of: looking at the ports local to me, and see if there is a change.
Both of the below URLs now have April2025 data. I am not seeing any dramatic changes (yet?)
