The American Government quickly imposed an alternative blanket 10pct tariff to all imports instead using a different legal statute. Chinese exports grew in 2025 despite a decline of exports to the United States; other countries took up the slack. Middle East tensions continue to cast a cloud over any hope of a large-scale Red Sea return any time soon.
