Global Trade, Tariffs & Turbulence: Mike King on What’s Ahead for U S Imports | Nemo Nation

On this episode of Nemo Nation, hosts Dave Nemo and Jimmy Mac sit down with Mike King, award-winning journalist and host of The Freight Buyers’ Club, to break down what’s really going on in global trade.

From container shipping costs and air cargo trends to the impact of tariffs and the possible end of de minimis exemptions, Mike explains how geopolitics, consumer demand, and shifting trade patterns are reshaping the U.S. import landscape — and why we might all be paying more and waiting longer for everyday goods.

With over two decades of experience reporting from logistics hubs around the world, Mike brings clarity and insight to one of the most complex systems powering our economy.
