Supporting the extension of the national emergency declared in Executive Order 14024; supporting the continued national prohibition on Russian seafood imports effected by Executive Orders 14024, 14068, and 14114; and urging the President of the United States, federal agencies, and the United States Congress to consider additional measures necessary for prohibiting the importation of Russian seafood into the United States and to maintain and strengthen federal measures that ensure fair trade, protect the state's seafood industry, and promote sustainable and ethical seafood production.
This Alaska resolution urges federal officials to maintain the ban on Russian seafood imports established by executive orders (14024, 14066, 14068). It states the ban protects Alaska's $5 billion seafood industry - employing over 19,000 workers - from unfair competition with Russian producers. The resolution emphasizes that Russian seafood imports undercut Alaskan businesses and threaten economic stability, as Russia has increased exports to the U.S. while banning Alaskan seafood since 2014.
