With U.S. port fees on Chinese-built ships coming, ocean freight carriers scramble to avoid surprise financial hit

Port fees on Chinese-made freight vessels are set to go into effect next week. The fees are a bid by the Trump administration to counter China's dominant position in freight ship manufacturing and spur a moribund U.S. shipbuilding industry. But confusion and fears are running high among ocean carriers now scrutinizing ship financing deals to determine if their vessels may be considered Chinese entities based on terms.

Trump's Argentina beef import plan will 'harm' U.S. ranchers, industry warns

Depleted U.S. cattle herd counts and strong consumer demand for beef have helped drive supermarket beef prices to new highs this year.

The American cattle ranching industry is blasting President Donald Trump’s proposal to purchase beef from Argentina in an effort to lower supermarket beef prices.

“This plan only creates chaos at a critical time of the year for American cattle producers, while doing nothing to lower grocery store prices,” Colin Woodall, CEO of the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, said in a statement Monday.

Trump floated purchasing beef from the South American nation Sunday aboard Air Force One to push down U.S. beef prices by increasing the overall supply.

"We would buy some beef from Argentina," he told reporters, "If we do that, that will bring our beef prices down."

Beef prices have hit record highs this year, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, fueled in part by depleted herd counts and steady demand from U.S. consumers...

• Last-minute changes to the U.S. Trade Representative Section 301 port fees resulted in one U.S.-based ocean carrier being reclassified and now facing an annual $34 million tariff bill.

• "There's a lot of shaking of heads, and what I'll call just shock," said Andrew Abbott, CEO of Atlantic Container Line, whose unique vessels carry both shipping containers and large equipment such as tractors, cars, aircraft wings, data center machinery and transformers for power plants.

• The new fees are not just a threat to his company but all of its import and export clients if ACL leaves the U.S.: "They never thought in 1,000 years that we would be affected," he tells CNBC.

Conservative justices sharply question Trump tariffs in high-stakes hearing

5 November 2025


President Donald Trump's use of sweeping tariffs faced sharp questioning at the Supreme Court on Wednesday, in a case with major implications for the president's agenda and the global economy.

A majority of justices, including several conservatives, expressed doubts about the White House's justification of the import duties, which the president has said are necessary to restore America's manufacturing base and fix its trade imbalance.

The measures are being challenged by a number of small businesses and a group of states, which contend that the president has overstepped his authority in imposing the levies, which are in effect a tax.

America's top court - which has a 6-3 conservative majority - usually takes months to reach big decisions, but many expect it to move faster in this case, which is also seen as the first major test of the Trump administration's push to expand presidential power...
