June 8, 2020 — When President Trump landed at Bangor International Airport he was greeted by leaders of Maine’s commercial fishing industry and a familiar face.
The President visiting Maine for the first time since he was elected into office back when Paul LePage was governor – who was there to greet Trump as he made his way off the aircraft.
Inside the hangar, Mainers from the fishing community, members of the President’s administration and Paul LePage bounced around topics including the national marine monument designated by the Obama Administration in 2016.
“I ordered the formation of a trade task force that will identify opportunities to open foreign markets to our seafood exports. We’re going to talk about the European Union. They simply take advantage of us on trade,” said President Trump.
