Trump's port fees on Chinese ships threaten US maritime industry, say executives
79% Informative
President Donald Trump 's plan to revitalize the U.S. shipbuilding industry is likely to backfire, industry executives say.
At issue are proposed, stacking fees on China -built vessels that could top $3 million per port call.
The Trump administration says the fees would curb China 's growing commercial and military dominance on the high seas.
Democrats say China 's domination of the sector imposed "unacceptable costs and risks".
Ship operators also could shift U.S.-bound cargo to ports in Canada and Mexico , and rely on trucks and trains to finish the journey, according to vessel and port operators, clogging border crossings and causing more infrastructure wear and tear.
