Strikes at Britain’s biggest container port this week have already caused major disruption to trade and are threatening retailers’ busiest season of the year, a supply chain data company said.

India will seek broader consensus before it supports US-led efforts to cap the price of Russian oil, which American officials are expected to push for this week when they travel to Mumbai and New Delhi.

Britain’s largest container ship port has accused the union behind an ongoing strike of acting against the interests of workers, saying many are unhappy at not being able to vote on the company’s latest pay offer.

Strikes at the UK’s largest container ship port could extend beyond the eight days currently planned by unions, threatening more disruption to the country’s supply chains.
