Two US congressmen have drawn up legislation intended to ensure that foreign ocean carriers take US exports.
John Garamendi, a Democrat representing California, and Dusty Johnson, a South Dakota Republican, propose the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2021 as a "first major update" to laws enacted in 1998.
“Foreign businesses’ access to the American market and its consumers is a privilege, not a right," Garamendi said in a statement.
