In the Gulf of Mexico, the prawn fishing industry has been undermined for several years by foreign competition, particularly from Asia and South America. US shrimp fishermen find it impossible to cope with the low import prices charged by these countries when they themselves are faced with rising fuel prices and inflation. In the state of Louisiana, one in 70 jobs is linked to fishing, meaning that an entire way of life is threatened by globalisation. Some of those fishermen say Donald Trump's import tariffs, which have now been suspended for 90 days, offer a glimmer of hope to an industry on its last legs. FRANCE 24's Fanny Allard reports, with Fraser Jackson.
