Imagine a huge game of shipping containers across the world! President Trump had a plan to help American shipbuilders, but it might cause big problems. It could make shipping things much more expensive.
- The plan might add extra fees on ships not built in America.
- This could cost shoppers a lot more money – up to $30 billion a year!
- It could make it harder to get things to stores and factories, maybe like during the early days of the pandemic.
- Big shipping companies might avoid some American ports to save money.
| Problem | Effect |
|---|---|
| Higher fees on ships | Up to $30 billion extra cost for consumers yearly |
| Fewer U.S. port calls | Possible shipping delays and port congestion |
| Shifting global fleets | Time and money needed for changes |
