# LA/LB strike deadline extended; Dem win increasing trade uncertainty – November 10, 2026 Update

> The update says the strike deadline at the Los Angeles and Long Beach ports was extended, while negotiations continued. It also reports that recent U.S. midterm election results raised uncertainty about future trade and logistics policy, and that the U.S. and China extended their pause on reciprocal port-call fees until January 10.

## Why it matters

Extending the deadline lowers the near-term risk of port disruption, though unresolved labor talks leave the possibility of cargo delays. The port-fee pause and shifting trade-policy outlook may affect shipping costs and trade flows, but no specific feed commodity impact is stated.
