trade disruption

Blocked market flow

Trade disruption is an interruption to the normal flow of goods, services, or commerce between parties.

It can result from tariffs, sanctions, supply chain failures, natural disasters, or political conflicts.

The port strike caused significant trade disruption along the East Coast.

The term often appears in economic and policy discussions about the costs of instability.
