02:10 PM EDT, 06/26/2026 (MT Newswires) -- Cargo traffic at the Port of Los Angeles is expected to rise in the week ending July 11, according to data from ship-tracking system Port Optimizer.

A total of 141,100 20-foot equivalent units, a standardized measure of cargo capacity, are projected to reach the port in the week, the data showed. That volume reflects an 18% increase from the previous week and a 19% rise from a year earlier.

Twenty-six freight vessels are scheduled to arrive at the port in the week ending July 11, the data showed. That compares with 23 vessels scheduled this week and in the week ending July 4.

President Donald Trump said in a Truth Social post on Friday that numerous European countries are discussing the imminent implementation of a digital services tax on US companies and warned that any country that proceeds with such a tax will face a 100% US tariff regardless of any previous trade deals.
