Maine Lobstermen’s Association President and Cutler fisherman Kristan Porter was one of a select few invited to meet with President Donald Trump during his recent trip to Maine. The president flew into Bangor on Friday, June 5, meeting there with fishing industry stakeholders before traveling to Guilford where he toured the Puritan Medical Products swab factory.

“The hardest part was not telling anybody,” said Porter, who was not allowed to discuss the presidential meeting, or its purpose, in advance.
