President Joe Biden hosted his first state dinner for visiting French President Emmanuel Macron last week, and though the event went off without a hitch, the main course still ended up putting Biden in a pinch.

The highlights of the meal were 200 live Maine lobsters poached in butter. But the Maine fishing industry – especially lobstermen – have taken exception, claiming that though the president feasted on the delicacies they toiled to produce, his regulations have made it nearly impossible for them to continue.
