In his first visit since the start of the supply chain crisis, the U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg toured Los Angeles-area ports on Jan. 11, commending port workers and officials for “saving Christmas.”
“One of the reasons why Christmas was not, in fact, canceled was because ports like LA and Long Beach moved record levels of goods, allowing an all-time record high of retail sales this holiday season,” Buttigieg said at a press conference.
