Port of Oswego director says tariffs are hurting business and calls for an "economic ceasefire"
Tom Drumm, executive director of the Port of Oswego Authority, said a 50% tariff on Canadian aluminum is hurting the port and the aluminum maker Novelis, and called for an "economic ceasefire" in the trade war between the United States and Canada, Oswego County News Now reported. In an interview Monday with NewsChannel 9, Drumm, who has held the post for six months, said the trade war is damaging the port's revenue and the local economy, according to the paper. The port handles large amounts of aluminum for Novelis's plant in the town of Scriba, the paper said.
