South Carolina shrimper says Trump’s tariffs will provide ‘immediate relief’ to US fishery
CJ Seafood owner Craig Reaves told “America Reports” that so much of the industry is being outsourced to Southeast Asia, Ecuador, India and South America, while the U.S. fishery has been “crushed.” “I’m a lifelong shrimper. My dad was a shrimper, so we’re generational fishermen, and we’ve been getting killed by imports for not just years, but literally decades,” Reaves said. “So, we’ve been suffering for a long, long time, and these tariffs, we believe, are going to give us some immediate relief. Also, it’s bringing attention to our industry, who is dying. We’ve outsourced our whole industry. Ninety-four percent of the shrimp consumed in the United States is imported.” Video, more, >>CLICK TO READ<< 07:52
