Rep. Jared Golden (D-ME) criticized the Biden administration Wednesday for ordering 200 lobsters from Maine for the White House state dinner after the administration imposed burdensome regulations on the lobster industry.
The smuggling of Australian rock lobsters into mainland China is a threat to the Communist country’s national security and integrity, Hong Kong’s new customs chief said Thursday as she vowed to crack down on the illicit trade.
The UK will look to ban the boiling of lobsters alive, however, the government has refrained from imposing similar restrictions on Halal.
China hoped its retaliatory tariffs would devastate Maine’s lobstermen. Instead, demand for lobsters has remained strong, boosted by purchases from Canada.
