The worried European shipowners for the decision of Trump to impose custom offices on the imports of steel and aluminum in the USA
Dorsman: the European shipowners invite the United States and the counterparts to respect the principles of the free exchange and to ask for a commercial war on a large scale
March 14, 2018
The association of the European shipowners has hard expressed worry for the decision of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, to impose additional duties on the determined imports of produced in steel and aluminum in the USA. "This protezionistica decision to impose custom offices of import of 25% on the steel and 10% on the aluminum has explained the general secretary of the European Community Shipowners' Associations (ECSA), Martin Dorsman - an impact will have obviously negative on the relations ocean-going liners and the total markets".
"The European community of the shipping - it has specified Dorsman - is worried by the evolution of this situation and a potential commercial war on a large scale. It is clearly that the rates could have an impact on other producing, as we have already felt from the retorts of the leaders of the EU. A commercial war on a large scale - it has emphasized the general secretary of the shipowning association - would not benefit to nobody".
"The European shipowners - he has concluded Dorsman - invite the United States and the counterparts to respect the principles of the free exchange and to ask for a commercial war on a large scale".
