President Trump's statement in March 2018 came amid an onslaught of trade tariffs against China, instigating a tit-for-tat, back-and-forth that impacted a raft of seafood products both at home and abroad, slowing China's economic growth, but also increasing prices for US consumers and costing US seafood importers millions of dollars in lost trade.

Indeed, if anything has been proven throughout Trump's first term in office it is that trade wars and neither good, nor easy to win.
