Shipments from China to the west coast of the U.S. will plummet next week as the impact of President Donald Trump 's tariffs leads companies to cut their import orders.

"It's a precipitous drop in volume with a number of major American retailers stopping all shipments from China based on the tariffs," said Gene Seroka , executive director of the Port of Los Angeles .

Seroka expects roughly a quarter of the usual number of arriving ships to the port to be canceled in May .
