A new Section 301 action on shipbuilders and vessels will increase shipping costs. 🇨🇳 builds over 40% of the world’s cargo fleet, and Chinese vessels are in third place for carrying CA ag exports. Without alternatives, American exporters will likely pay these higher costs
(5/7)
Top 10 vessel countries for Californian Agricultural exports, 2022. The top 3 countries are Panama, Marshall Islands, and China.

Seems like the quote I gave in this article predicting that the Trump administration would use deforestation as a potential justification to limit imports was pretty prescient given this recent USTR tweet
Tweet from the US Trade Representative that reads: 7/10: Illegal logging and illegal mining in South America, particularly in Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and Ecuador, fuel environmental degradation and create unfair competition that harms U.S. businesses committed to responsible sourcing and compliance with environmental laws. These illicit activities, which usually involve transnational criminal organizations, distort global commodity markets by driving down prices and allowing bad actors to undercut legitimate American exporters.

Yes! This was on Annie's Trail, at the far end of the Reserve. Agreed, one of my favorite spots too!

Yeah, your university might be alright, but does it operate a natural reserve with great hiking trails?
