SEAFOOD: Commends President Donald Trump for the imported seafood tariffs and restrictions he put in place that have helped protect Louisiana's commercial seafood industry
This resolution (HR 368) is a symbolic gesture by the Louisiana House of Representatives expressing support for President Trump's 2025 executive order imposing tariffs on imported seafood (10-40% rates) and regulatory reforms. It specifically commends these actions for benefiting Louisiana's commercial seafood industry, citing the state's reliance on fishing jobs and the goal of reducing the U.S. seafood trade deficit. The resolution does not create new policy or alter tariffs - it solely serves as a formal commendation directed to President Trump and Louisiana's congressional delegates. It passed unanimously in the Louisiana House on June 12, 2025, as a procedural statement.
