The strike, \u2064instigated\u200c by workers seeking higher wages,\u2064 could significantly disrupt the \u2063flow of goods into the U.S., including critical supplies for Hurricane Helene victims. Buttigieg\u200b urged &#8220;extremely profitable&#8221; ocean carriers \u200bto present a fair offer that could bring the union back to negotiations, emphasizing the need \u2064for swift action to mitigate the \u2064strike&#8217;s impact. \u200bHe \u200bnoted \u2064that while some retailers had already taken precautions, the longer the \u2064strike lasts, \u200cthe more severe the \u2062consequences\u200c will be. Buttigieg also \u200breassured that necessary relief for affected\u200c regions would be \u2064expedited.
