Why The Port of Savannah Has Been Smashing Trade, Revenue Records

President Trump said he would pause tariff escalations with China
after meeting with that country’s president, Xi Jinping, at the G20
Summit. One Georgia industry tracking the ongoing talks is
shipping. The Trump administration had threatened a 25% tariff on
ship-to-shore cranes that come from China. The Georgia Ports
Authority is ordering six new ones at a total cost of $70 million.
Its executive director and Georgia’s U.S. senators are asking the
White House to rethink taxing them. That's because the cranes are
just one piece of a $2.5 billion expansion at the ports that's
smashing trade and revenue records.
