🎣RESTORING AMERICA’S SEAFOOD DOMINANCE: For too long, federal seafood policy has effectively punished American production while rewarding foreign dependence. Foreign imports harvested under lax environmental protections and labor standards continue to undercut domestic producers at home and in export markets.   In April 2025, President Trump signed the Restoring American Seafood Competitiveness Executive Order directing government agencies to develop a seafood strategy to reduce regulatory burdens and compliance costs and tackle unfair foreign trade practices, including unjustified non-tariff barriers, IUU fishing, and forced labor in the seafood supply chain.     Today, the @WhiteHouse released the America First Seafood Strategy which outlines a whole-of-government approach to strengthening our fishing industry and restoring America’s seafood competitiveness by unlocking new market opportunities for U.S. fishermen.     Under the trade pillar in the strategy, USTR highlights actions taken to promote fair, balanced, and reciprocal trade, as well as ongoing efforts to monitor and enforce commitments related to fisheries and seafood in all U.S. trade deals.   Learn more:
