The current administration plans to impose multimillion-dollar fees on Chinese container ships docking in U.S. ports to counter China’s dominance in shipbuilding and revive the U.S. maritime industry. The administration argues that unfair Chinese trade practices have weakened American shipyards, and the revenue from these fees would be used to subsidize domestic shipbuilding. Experts warn that the move could disrupt global supply chains, increase shipping costs, and cause congestion at major U.S. ports. Analysts warn that high costs, supply chain disruptions, and limited shipyard capacity could undermine the effectiveness of the strategy.
