President Donald Trump falsely claimed Thursday that it was his predecessor who was responsible for the struggles of Maine's lobster and fishing industries.
Trump has his facts wrong. It was his trade war with China, which destabilized the industry and cost lobster fishermen big business, that precipitated his administration's bailout, while the industry achieved record sales under former President Barack Obama. The industry was also optimistic about Obama's trade talks with the European Union during his second term that could have reduced the tariffs it faces shipping to those markets. Negotiations stalled after Trump's win, and during his administration, the U.S. industry has suffered as the E.U.'s trade deal with Canada has given Canadian lobstermen a big leg up on the lucrative trade.
International markets, demand and even the logistics of shipping overseas have been similarly upended by the coronavirus.
Of course... all he knows how to do is lie DonTheCon LiarInChief
He blames Obama for everything. Makes me want to vomit.
Of course he does that, Trump is obsessed with President Obama ans is incapable of taking personal responsibility on anything.

Why would you want to encourage travel during a pandemic... POTUS should stick with his idea of Stimulus staying as stimulus. A tax credit for travel could create more COVID cases from other parts of the continents. I certainly agree that the stimulus should pay more. It would benefit smaller businesses.
