According to recent reports from Bloomberg, Norway experienced a significant 56% increase in seafood exports to the United States during the first quarter of the year. This surge occurred just before the US implemented the highest tariffs on American imports in recent history.
The Norwegian seafood industry, particularly salmon and crab exports, rushed to ship their products to the US market in anticipation of the impending tariffs. These new trade barriers are expected to have a considerable impact on the seafood trade between the two countries.
