President Trump has signed a proclamation to reopen rich fishing waters off the coast of Maine, which were previously designated as a sanctuary by the Obama administration.
During Friday’s roundtable in Bangor, the president ensured he will bring back commercial fishing industries “in a big way.”The move walked back an Obama-era executive order that banned fishing in the area due to conservation efforts. The president claimed the prior administration’s policies were excessive and caused serious economic harm to the lives of fishermen.
He went on to say he will continue fighting for fishing rights with his plans to crack down on illegally harvested seafood. The president is also hoping to confront the EU over what he called “unfair tariffs.”
