China Imposes Retaliatory Port Fees on U.S. Cargo Ships: Trade Tensions Escalate

China has announced tit-for-tat port fees targeting American vessels in response to U.S. charges on Chinese ships. The retaliatory measures come as trade tensions escalate between the world’s two largest economies ahead of critical diplomatic talks.

The timing is particularly significant, with the measures taking effect just weeks before an anticipated meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum.
