I am amazed at how the left continues to tie Trump to everything.
This is an indictment against Obama allowing this to get to this point, and you don't criticize Obama...you take a dig at trump.
This has been going on since 1980, and came to a head with a lawsuit in 2008 just before Obama went into office. He allowed it to fester, and in fact, made things worse while in office, yet you try to turn this into a dig at Trump.
All of that said....since this was bad enough for you to start a thread, will you at least criticize Obama for allowing it to get to this point?

I am confused. You link and long post/copy and paste is about the "Tuna War", but you take a dig about the wall. Is this about the "Tuna War" or about the wall?

I'm not sure what species of tuna this is talking about but my family was in the wholesale tuna ( yellowfin, bigeye, bluefin, etc.) and we imported fish from mexico for 15+ years.
All the fish we bought were caught off of longline boats which do not target dolphin. The only way of fishing that targets dolphin is purse seins which is a big bot that drops a smaller boat with nets on it and the boat does a circle to capture the fish in the middle. It basically catches everything in the net's path.
The only type of tuna this still occurs on today is for skipjack tuna (cheaper version of tuna not for sushi or nice restaurants which then becomes canned tuna).

Sure. Once I get an update on Mexico paying for the wall and an update on anyone paying for the wall. .
Are you talking about criticizing Obama for the great tuna war for a wall or wall related issues?
