Kennedy Jr, a Trump cabinet member, made the comments Tuesday during a televised Cabinet meeting at the White House, accusing South Asian nations of “dumping shrimp” sold at Walmart, a US supermarket chain.

India is a major exporter of shrimps to the US accounting for 40% of domestic seafood consumption, and is bracing for the impact of an effective tariff rate of 50% imposed by Trump. A levy of 25% took effect on August land another 25% kicked in on Wednesday.
