This will whack domestic food producers, and favor foreign ones.

And once most of our food is sourced offshore, we’ll be at the mercy of whoever controls shipping.

Ain't globalism grand?

Last year it was mexican tomatoes and peppers that ended up being the cause of a severe beating for American growers. This year it's peanut farmers that are taking a beating because the media doesn't report that the peanuts came from China.

“at the mercy of whoever controls shipping.”

Shipping, along with all other things involved in business, will adjust to existing business levels.
