President Donald Trump today signed an executive order to support the lobster industry, following conversations that started with the roundtable discussion in Maine on June 5.
"It's a promise made, promise delivered," said John Horstman, director of media affairs and special assistant to the president.
Though details are still developing, the executive order is expected to give the lobster industry the same assistance farmers received as a result of the retaliatory tariffs coming from China.
The president has also pledged to monitor the phase one trade agreement with China, which includes China's commitment to buy $150 million in products from the U.S. lobster industry.
The order also commits to a closer look at the trade disparities that have developed between Canada, Europe and the United States regarding lobster exports.
Whether this order applies to all U.S. lobster exports is still to be determined. We will update this story as it develops.
