Recent US LPG export capacity expansions and continued production growth are tightening freight availability, even as demand signals in Asia remain mixed. At the same time, the Trump administration’s continued use of tariffs and sanctions as diplomatic tools is adding uncertainty across energy markets — with the most acute impact in freight, where a growing list of sanctioned vessels is complicating operations and reshaping trade flows.
