As Congress begins to review the Trump administration’s FY 2021 budget plan, the waterways industry is increasingly hopeful that lawmakers will reject the president’s proposals to cut federal waterways spending, impose fees for commercial use of certain waterways, and spend no money from a trust fund partially funded by the barge industry to finance construction and repair of aging navigation infrastructure.

Στα ύψη οι αμερικανικές εξαγωγές πετρελαίου

Το μερίδιο του αμερικανικού πετρελαίου στην αγορά αυξάνεται λόγω πολιτικών μεθοδεύσεων και όχι λόγω οικονομικών συγκυριών, σύμφωνα με τον διευθύνοντα σύμβουλο της Rosneft, Igor Sechin.

Συγκεκριμένα, ο Ρώσος επιχειρηματίας, σε ομιλία του στο 12ο Ευρασιατικό Οικονομικό Φόρουμ, δήλωσε ότι «η αύξηση του μεριδίου για το αμερικανικό πετρέλαιο επιτυγχάνεται συχνά όχι τόσο λόγω οικονομικών όσο πολιτικών μεθόδων, ήτοι εκδιώκοντας σημαντικούς παίκτες της αγοράς».

Chiefs at seven large US ports have written to President Trump to express their “deep concern” over the “escalating trade conflict” with China. 
Claiming tariffs are creating “irredeemable economic harm”, they note there was a 30% decline in exports to China from Californian ports last year, while exports of wheat – grown across 10 states – have nearly ceased.
