Summary: The Port of Oakland, one of the busiest West Coast ports and a hub for trade with China, is seeing falling exports as the trade war escalates. In July exports fell 7.3 percent year over year — their fifth monthly drop in a row. “There’s been some decline over the last few months,” said Michael Zampa, a spokesman for the port, which supports over 73,000 jobs in the Bay Area and is the third-busiest U.S. port on the West Coast by container volume.
