“We oppose the port fees": World Shipping Council on potential port fees targeting Chinese-built ships

“We oppose the port fees because they are going to have a severe effect on the U.S. economy and, in particular, agricultural exporters and farmers.”

The ag sector is keeping a close eye on potential port fees targeting Chinese-built ships. While it aims to strengthen the administration’s “America first” trade agenda, many are concerned it could result in increased costs for U.S. farmers.
