SSA backs calls for Trump crackdown on Indian shrimp

The Southern Shrimp Alliance (SSA) is backing recent calls for the White House to crackdown on what it says are contaminated Indian shrimp imports.

The body representing a coalition of US shrimp fishermen said authorities need to introduce similar strict levels of testing to those in place in the EU on Indian shrimp.

SSA calculates that less than 1 percent of all shrimp imports into the United States are tested compared with 50 percent of Indian imports into the EU.
