How Trade is Impacting America’s busiest port

from Talk Cocktail · host Jeff Schechtman

I’m joined by Gene Seroka, executive director of the Port of Los Angeles. The port handles 20% of America’s incoming cargo. In this California Sun conversation, he reveals how the 7,500-acre complex serves as an economic bellwether, highlighting trends months before consumers feel them. From automation debates to tariff-induced cargo swings, Seroka explains how what happens at the port ripples through the economy and shapes global trade.This post is FREE for everyone.
