This is what a real president looks like.
President Donald Trump is once again standing up for America’s forgotten workers—this time by defending commercial fishermen shackled by overreaching Obama-Biden regulations.
In a bold move to restore U.S. fishing rights and boost the coastal economy, President Trump is expected to sign an executive order that reopens nearly 5,000 square miles of ocean territory in the Atlantic. This vital area, known as the Northeast Canyons and Seamounts Marine National Monument, was sealed off by former President Barack Obama and later reinstated by Joe Biden.
“This is about jobs, fairness, and putting America’s fishing families first,” a White House fact sheet stated, obtained by NHJournal.
Why It Matters:
- The U.S. seafood industry has been crippled by federal restrictions that limit access to rich fishing grounds.
- President Trump is reversing the tide—rolling back red tape, empowering American workers, and pushing back against foreign imports and radical environmentalism.
The executive order, still pending publication as of Saturday, fulfills Trump’s 2024 campaign promise to restore fairness to the fishing industry. And it follows his earlier actions this year to open Pacific marine monuments, including 400,000 acres near Hawaii, to U.S. fishermen once again.
Trump’s America First policies are giving hope to coastal towns battered by job loss, soaring costs, and globalist energy agendas.
During his first term, President Trump had already lifted these restrictions—only to see them reinstated under Biden. Now, with the stroke of a pen, he’s ready to return freedom and prosperity to New England’s coastal economy.
Key Highlights:
- 4,913 square miles reopened to commercial fishing in the Atlantic
- Obama-Biden ban revoked, restoring fairness to U.S. fishermen
- Action follows Trump’s broader push to end offshore wind projects
- Supports thousands of jobs in traditional fishing communities
Industry leaders have applauded Trump’s efforts, especially his crackdown on offshore wind farms, which they say endanger marine life and disrupt legacy fishing zones. On his very first day back in office, President Trump halted new offshore wind development by executive order.
Bottom Line:
President Trump is delivering on his promise to defend American workers and revive forgotten industries—proving once again that he’s on the side of everyday Americans, not Washington bureaucrats or global elites.
Will this executive order finally restore balance for U.S. fishermen? Stay tuned as President Trump continues his fight for fair trade, energy independence, and coastal prosperity.
