[HIGHLIGHTS] Collapsed bridge in Baltimore: reconstruction in the shadow of the presidential campaign

Port authorities in Baltimore, Maryland, have established a shipping corridor to clear rubble from the Francis Scott Key Bridge. This first step marks the start of a gradual resumption of activity for one of the main ports in the United States.

The Port of Baltimore plays a strategic role, particularly for the automobile, coal and sugar sectors. In 2023, more than 52 million tons of foreign goods entered the U.S. through the Port ofBaltimore, worth nearly $80 billion. However, according to several experts, the economic consequences of the accident should have a limited effect on the American economy.
