Trade wars & Trump’s new rules: A container shipping legend’s survival guide

Feb 20, 2025

The global trading landscape is experiencing seismic shifts under President Trump's administration. In this pivotal episode of The Freight Buyers' Club, we decode the impact of new tariffs, de minimis rule changes, and escalating geopolitical tensions reshaping supply chains worldwide.

Join host Mike King with two industry powerhouses:

• Bronson Hsieh, former Chairman of Evergreen and Yang Ming Shipping, reveals how smaller carriers can outperform industry giants and shares his outlook on shipping profitability amid market turbulence

• Kathy Liu, VP of Global Sales & Marketing at Dimerco Express Group, unpacks the air freight implications of U.S. policy changes and provides strategic insights for companies eyeing Vietnam as their next manufacturing hub

As the industry prepares for TPM25 in Long Beach this March, we explore pressing questions about carrier contract negotiations, emerging Asian manufacturing alternatives, and innovative logistics solutions in Southeast Asia.

Discover how leading companies are adapting their e-commerce and container shipping strategies to navigate this new era of global trade.

Presented in partnership with Dimerco Express Group.
