Members of the Maine lobster industry are warning that China’s new tariffs on lobster exports could undermine the industry, NBC News reported Saturday.

Another Maine lobster distributor, Mark Murrell, told the outlet that he initially had hoped Trump’s election in 2016 would help his industry

But, Murrell said, he is “not very” confident that the tariffs will help the lobster industry, adding that he wants Trump to “be more thoughtful and ask the end person — ask the source.”

“I just spent three months with a potential new buyer in Shanghai that wanted 40,000 pounds a week,” Murrell told NBC. “But when the tariff scare came, or reality now, talks really slowed down, and now it's radio silence.”
