TARIFFSTAKEATOLL:Trade war with China closes some doors for U.S. seafood, though optimism reigns

摘要

The tit-for-tat trade dispute between the United States and China has rocked many fishermen, buyers and suppli-ers across the country. Four months in, industry leaders from Maine to Alaska and California to the Florida Keys are unsure how long it will take to right the course with their Chinese markets.The primary issue is a 25 percent tariff the Chinese government put on the more than $1 billion offish and seafood the United States sends to the country annually. That extra $250 million-plus could make consumers in the world's most populous nation andsecond largest economy choose cheaper alternatives to U.S. seafood.
