US Senators Ask Trump to Hold Fast on Shipbuilding in Meeting with Xi

By

A group of U.S. senators called on President Donald Trump to prioritize the country's shipbuilding industry by not offering concessions to China ahead of his meeting with President Xi Jinping, according to a Monday press release.

In a letter to Trump, Democratic Senators Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin and Mark Kelly of Arizona, as well as Republican Senators Tim Scott of South Carolina and Todd Young of Indiana, said China's efforts to "decimate American shipbuilding" deserve no opportunity for compromise.

Trump and Xi earlier agreed to suspend tit-for-tat fees on each other's ships for one year, Reuters reported separately.

The U.S. is set to resume its fees for Chinese ships beginning Nov. 10 unless Washington grants further concessions, the report said.
