摘要：	For months, U.S. shipping interests have been issuing anguished complaints about massive container imbalances, delays, jams, rising costs and the alleged refusal by some carriers of U.S. containerized exports. Now two U.S. senators and President Joe Biden have acted to address the issues. Whether their proposed actions have properly assessed the causes of the crisis, or can do anything to relieve it, remains to be seen. Biden's directives to the Federal Maritime Commission came July 9 as part of a sweeping series of 72 executive orders titled "Executive Order on Promoting Competition in the American Economy." Most of the individual EOs are really requests to 12 separate federal agencies and commissions, like the Federal Trade Commission or the Federal Communications Commission, that are supposed to be independent of direct White House control. Some of them promote practices that are popular with both political parties and consumers generally, such as having airlines refund baggage fees when baggage is delayed. But they generally exhort agencies to "enhance" or "strengthen" existing efforts, rather than specifying specific desired outcomes.
