Probably a combination of Politics, not-rocking-the-boat (generally), and a question like yours.
With globalization increasing as it has in the past few decades a lot of the old shipping and carriage agreements become counter productive.
- joe_the_user 7y agoI think the way this happened certainly looked like (petty)"Politics" and "not-rocking-the-boat (generally)". I'm sure most would expect "Globalization" as an idea that was generally in the air would have influenced those who took the actions here as well as the people allowed those actions to happen (which had to include quite a number of US officials). The thing is that definitely involved a huge amount of money flowing in various directions and so I tend to believe a portion of people making this and allowing this to happen were considering the interests involved also. Especially, some people (small US operations) were screaming about this from the start, why it was hard for them to be heard is worth considering.
