Abstract

The Caribbean Private Sector Organization successfully lobbied for exemptions on fees proposed by the Trump administration for certain Chinese ships traveling to its ports. The US Trade Representative granted exemptions on three categories of Chinese-made cargo ships, relieving the region from potential economic consequences. The organization, affiliated with CARICOM, argued that the fees would have led to inflation and supply-chain disruptions. The Trump administration's plan to impose fines on Chinese-made vessels using US ports is part of a broader effort to boost the US shipbuilding industry. [Extracted from the article]
