Who pays for this and who takes care of the child, should this very early pregnancy actually produce one?

Do these TEU numbers include empty containers? So, the slump may be larger than these numbers indicate.

It’s as if Trump thought “I liked 2020 shortages! Let’s go back to where I left off last time!”
