Trump Administration Unveils Plan to Revive American Shipbuilding

The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump has unveiled a comprehensive plan to restore American shipbuilding and related industries, titled the "Maritime Action Plan." The document outlines funding mechanisms for the industry, partially based on port fees from ships built in China.

Key Elements of the Plan

The "Maritime Action Plan" includes measures to modernize the American shipbuilding industry and restore its competitiveness in the global market. The plan proposes the use of port fees from imported ships as one of the funding sources for domestic shipbuilding.

International Agreements

In accordance with the new policy, the U.S. and China have reached an agreement on a 12-month moratorium on mutual fees following retaliatory measures taken by Beijing. Previously, China's counteractions led to significant disruptions in global logistics.

The Trump administration's initiative aims to restore the manufacturing capacity of domestic shipbuilding and create conditions for the development of related sectors of the economy.
