(23,946 posts)Potentially making matters worse for U.S. dealers is that they might not benefit from elimination of the existing 20 percent and 25 percent lobster tariffs that China had planned to roll back at the end of the month. If the new tariff is implemented, and the old tariff remains on U.S. lobster but is rolled back for Canada, Maine lobstermen will be at a 45 percent price disadvantage with Canada on the very same product, Tselikis said.

On the other hand all that excess lobster means good cheap eats for me,...LOVE lobster.

Typical repug president. He took apart the air conditioner, broke the front window, dismantled the stove and fridge, then the water heater, and washer dryer. The pieces are all over the ground in the kitchen and basement. Now he'll amble out to the garage to work on the family auto.
