Trump Repeals Century-Old Law - Liepāja Shipping Veterans Offer Consultations
US President suspends ban on foreign ships carrying cargo between American ports for 60 days. Liepāja port workers are already preparing instructions.
Donald Trump's latest decision to suspend the shipping law adopted in 1920 for 60 days has caused an unusual resonance in Liepāja. While Americans are still trying to understand how this century-old law has been hindering their economy, our port veterans are already preparing practical advice.
"We in Liepāja can work miracles in 60 days," comments Liepāja port worker Guntis. "While they're thinking over there in America about how to let foreign ships into their ports, we've been accepting everyone for years - Latvian, Estonian, and Polish ships. And nobody has complained about disruptions in the oil market."
White House Press Secretary Caroline Leavitt explained that the decision is part of operation "Epic Fury," but beachgoers in Liepāja receive this name with a smile. "We have our own 'Epic Fury' here - when everyone tries to find a free spot in the sand during summer," says local resident Ilze. "And you don't need to repeal any century-old laws - just come early in the morning."
What's most surprising is that US gas prices have risen by 27%, while in Liepāja fuel prices rise every week and nobody talks about special operations. "We don't need 60-day experiments," philosophically admits a local driver. "We've long since proven that we can live with any prices - the main thing is that the tram runs and the port works."
