President Donald Trump on Friday announced he was vetoing a driftnet fishing bill that recently passed with support from both parties.

S. 906, or the Driftnet Modernization and Bycatch Reduction Act, would expand the definition of large-scale driftnet fishing to bar the use of gillnets with a mesh size of 14 inches or greater.
