According to China’s Ministry of Commerce, Washington will delay the implementation of port charges on Chinese-linked vessels until late 2026. In return, Beijing will suspend its “special port fees” on U.S.-affiliated ships for the same duration.
The decision comes after talks between U.S. President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping in Busan, South Korea — their first meeting since the reintroduction of reciprocal port fees on October 14, 2025.
⚓ Impact on global trade:
This agreement is expected to reduce financial pressure on maritime operators and ship owners in both countries and simplify international route planning, providing much-needed stability for the global shipping industry.
