President Donald J. Trump has signed a proclamation aiming to boost American commercial fishing in the Pacific Ocean, aligning with the America First Fishing Policy. The move is intended to remove restrictions faced by American fishermen, with the goal of strengthening the U.S. economy and supporting local communities.
President Trump articulated a belief that lifting unnecessary constraints on the fishing industry will not only aid in economic growth but also restore equity to an industry currently challenged by overregulation and foreign competition.
The action forms part of President Trump’s broader economic strategy focused on revitalizing the economy through deregulation and reduction of bureaucratic obstacles.
