June 24, 2020 — 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.
