US EditionTrump administration announces fees on Chinese ships docking at U.S. ports
- The Trump administration has introduced a new port fee on ships built or operated by Chinese companies to support the U.S. shipbuilding industry, according to U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.
- Chinese-Built ships will face a fee starting at $18 per net ton, with potential charges for some cargo handling equipment, as stated by Greer.
- President Trump believes that China's trade practices have cheated the U.S. for decades, and he hopes to reset relations through a phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping.
- Despite the tariffs, Xi Jinping has not responded, which may prolong the trade conflict and affect the U.S. economy negatively, as noted by economist Scott Bessent.
