“Ships and delivery are vital for American economic security and free trade flow,” Grir said.
“The actions of the Trump administration will begin to cancel Chinese domination, refer to the threats for the US supply network and send a demand for ships built in the US,” he said.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry warned the United States on Friday that “measures such as implementing the port … not only increase the global delivery costs” and violate the supply networks, but also “increase the inflation pressure to the United States by damaging US consumers and enterprises.”
“These actions do not revive the shipbuilding industry in the United States,” the ministry said, adding that China will take “necessary measures” to protect its interests.

The US trade representative added that the empty ships arriving for export of goods from the country are not charged.
