TL;DR Summary

An intelligence report obtained by ABC News warns that the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore has reduced the resiliency of US port and shipping operations, potentially creating opportunities for foreign adversary exploitation. The collapse has rerouted $80 million in maritime cargo and trucking, impacting the flow of goods and resulting in thousands of job losses. While there are no significant impacts on customs enforcement so far, the report cautions that U.S. adversaries could exploit any logistical setbacks resulting from the bridge collapse. President Joe Biden has pledged full federal support for the bridge's reconstruction.
