Lawmakers demand review of Treasury Department’s oversight of shrimp imports | Louisiana
SUMMARY: House Committee Chairman James Comer and Representatives Clay Higgins and Troy Nehls are urging the U.S. Government Accountability Office to investigate the Treasury Department’s compliance with laws protecting American industries, particularly the shrimping sector, from foreign competition. They express concerns that since 2004, U.S. representatives in international financial institutions have predominantly supported foreign projects that harm U.S. industries, including shrimp. The legislators cite that U.S. shrimp markets face significant competition from imports, particularly from India, which raises ethical issues like forced labor and environmental degradation on shrimp farms. They seek assurance that U.S. interests are adequately safeguarded.
