“We must reimburse the subsidies that China has given their shipbulosis to fight fire with fire,” Louis Sola said in January, the chairman of the Federal Sea Commission (FMC). “Where should that money [from fees on Chinese ships] Go that amount should be introduced in American delivery. “

“I don’t want to pick up their goals and tie their legs with each other,” said the FMC Chair. “I would prefer to put my champion there against him and the only way you can do that you have to finance them.”

The proposal to impose punishments on Chinese ships is the latest efforts to promote American competitiveness, the important purpose of Trump. This month, the US President told the joint meeting of the Congress, he would create a “Shiproint Office” in the White House with tax incentives.

“In order to promote our defense industrial base, we are also going to resurrect the US shipbulosy industry, including commercial shipbuilding and military shipbuilding,” Trump and laws said.

Sola said that “First Priorities with President Trump America, [the FMC was] It’s a kind of time ago, “adding that he is looking for a larger budget so that the agency can hire more staff, despite the administration, other government agencies causes sharps.
