\n The European Union informed the White House that it will eliminate tariffs on US lobsters, Maine Sen. Susan Collins said Friday.<\/p>\n

Collins, a Republican in a tight re-election race, said lobstermen previously faced an 8- to 30-percent tariff when exporting live and frozen lobsters to the EU.<\/p>\n

Canada was able to undercut US lobstermen because the EU previously eliminated tariffs on lobsters from Canada.<\/p>\n

\u201cPlacing U.S. lobster on a level playing field with Canadian lobster is a significant victory that will reopen this lucrative market to Maine lobstermen and women,\u201d Collins said in a release.<\/p>\n

The news<\/a> gives Collins an accomplishment to present to voters as she tries to fend off Democratic candidate Sara Gideon. It may also help President Trump in Maine, where he won just a single congressional district and one electoral vote in 2016.<\/p>\n

Annie Tselikis, executive director of the Maine Lobster Dealers\u2019 Association, told The Hill that lobstermen lost business recently due to Chinese tariffs and that Europe is a \u201cformerly lucrative and critical export destination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump visited Maine last month to rollback restrictions on offshore fishing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went to Maine a number of times, where we just freed up lobster fishing and fishing,\u201d Trump boasted in a recent speech. \u201cThey took away 5,000 square miles from Maine. I just opened it up.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a tweet, the president wrote, \u201cEnjoy your \u2018lobstering\u2019 and fishing! Make lots of money!\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s unclear what the US may have traded in exchange for the tariff elimination, which Collins said is expected to last five years.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
