SYDNEY (Bloomberg): Prime Minister Scott Morrison said he's appointed his "best people" to work on breaking a stalemate that's seen more than 50 ships laden with Australian coal stranded off Chinese ports, as tensions between the trading partners increase.
More than US$500 million worth of Australian coal and about 1,000 crew on the ships are stuck after China blacklisted a wide swathe of Australian commodities and foodstuffs, amid what Morrison described on Thursday (Nov 26) as an "extraordinary period" in the relationship.
