Trump Gets Mighty Praise From 'Farmers Of The Sea' After Reopening 500,000 Square Miles Of Pacific Waters For US Fishermen: 'You're One Of Us Now…'

President Donald Trump on Thursday signed a proclamation reopening nearly 500,000 square miles of protected Pacific waters to commercial fishing, restoring access to key marine zones as part of his "America First Fishing Policy."

The White House said the move restores commercial fishing access to the Mau and Ho‘omalu Zones of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, the Islands Unit of the Mariana Trench Marine National Monument, and the Rose Atoll Marine National Monument. The administration said the goal is to boost domestic seafood production, support American jobs and reduce reliance on imported seafood.

The White House argued previous restrictions unnecessarily limited American fishermen while doing little to improve conservation because many commercially important fish species are highly migratory and already protected under existing fisheries laws.

Trump said reopening these waters would strengthen domestic seafood supply chains and create economic opportunities for fishing families, processors and coastal communities.

BankBound Launches Three New Solutions to Help Community Banks Compete in the AI Search Era

PR.com — Fri, 05 Jun 2026 20:33:32 +0000

A turnkey blogging platform, a premium Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) framework, and a managed website consent-compliance service give community banks new tools to build online authority, get found in AI-generated answers, and keep pace with a fast-changing privacy landscape.

Newtown, PA June 05, 2026 --(PR.com)-- BankBound, the digital marketing agency dedicated exclusively to financial institutions, today announced a significant expansion of its product and service lineup. Three new offerings — BankBound Hub, a turnkey blogging platform; an enhanced, premium GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) framework; and a managed website consent-management service — are designed to help community banks strengthen their online presence, earn visibility in AI-powered search, and navigate an increasingly complex web of data-privacy regulations.

The way customers find and evaluate banks online is changing quickly. Prospective customers increasingly turn to AI assistants and AI-generated search results — not just traditional search listings — to answer financial questions and compare providers. At the same time, publishing authoritative content remains out of reach for many banks whose website platforms lack a flexible, easy-to-use blog, and a growing patchwork of state privacy laws has raised the stakes for how institutions track and collect website data. BankBound's new offerings address all three pressures.

"Community banks are fighting for visibility in a market dominated by megabanks with marketing budgets they'll never match." said Ryan Young, Director of Business Development at BankBound. "These new solutions give them an efficient, practical way to publish great content, get cited by the AI tools their customers now rely on, and stay ahead of privacy requirements — all without adding headcount or technical complexity."

Trump Tariff Lawsuit Winner Reaps $110K Refund As Treasury Kickstarts Massive Payout

Namrata Sen — Thu, 14 May 2026 07:41:15 +0000

Victor Schwartz, the CEO of VOS Selections, a wine importer, has received a $110,000 tariff refund from the U.S. government, following a Supreme Court ruling that invalidated President Donald Trump‘s International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) tariffs.

The Treasury Department has begun refunding importers who were impacted by the tariffs. Schwartz was among the small business leaders who contested the tariffs in the Supreme Court and emerged victorious, reported The Hill on Wednesday. A spokesperson for Schwartz’s legal team told the publication that the refund had been received, indicating that the refunds were “absolutely starting to flow.”

The Customs and Border Protection (CBP) had previously stated that refunds would begin this week for successful applicants. On Tuesday, the agency told a federal judge that the first batch of refunds had been approved and sent to the Treasury Department for payment.

The CBP is now processing $35.46 billion in refunds, though the total is expected ...
