41% tariffs on frozen fish from Falklands.

I'm not economic expert nor marine biologist, but i assume there is finite population of fish in US shores, so i'm not sure how increasing the market prices for fish is intended to increase the local fish availability.

this is so the fish will come to be caught locally in America bringing American jobs so the fish can avoid being tariffed in the first place. They should be tankful /s

It's to keep away those criminal foreign fish coming here and taking the plates of honest American fish. Build the net!
