“Supply chain disruptions caused by the pandemic have contributed to rising prices across America. These disruptions included considerable congestion at our ports last year. In this void, the Port of Cleveland in my district, increased its tonnage by nearly 70 percent, helping to keep goods moving across America and beyond. Yet, even as congestion has eased, international shipping companies have been charging extremely high fees to transport goods. This is driving up costs on store shelves and hurting our small businesses while leaving key products waiting on our docks.

I call that a win-win. ____________________”
