US: /CHINA: Per RTRS: "U.S. President Donald Trump signed a memorandum aimed at
protecting American lobster fishermen who have found export markets drying up, a
senior White House adviser said on Wednesday, adding that China could end up
facing new tariffs. "If those purchase commitments are not met, the United
States Trade Representative has been directed to use his discretion to impose
... reciprocal tariffs on the China seafood industry," White House trade adviser
Peter Navarro told reporters, referring to $150 million in purchase commitments
Beijing made under the so-called Phase 1 U.S.-China trade deal."
