(The Center Square) – Shrimpers are praising the Trump administration’s newly announced tariffs on imports from Indonesia and Vietnam as a long-overdue correction to what it calls “counter-productive trade policies.”

“Too many American shrimpers have spent the last two seasons tied up at the dock,” said John Williams, executive director of the Southern Shrimp Alliance. “President Trump’s additional tariffs on major shrimp suppliers will enable our fishermen to increase their production and be an economic boon to coastal communities.”
