President Donald Trump signed an executive order Thursday aimed at strengthening the domestic seafood industry by streamlining the approval of aquaculture sites and federal review, as the global food supply chain becomes strained amid the CCP virus pandemic.
The president in his executive order said he hopes to strengthen the American economy, improve the competitiveness of American industry, ensure food security, and provide environmentally safe and sustainable seafood. The order also aims to support American workers, ensure coordinated, predictable, and transparent federal actions, and remove unnecessary regulatory burdens, Trump said in a statement.
