Trump then brokered a new deal with China in 2020 that included renewed lobster exports. Lobster is especially popular around Chinese New Year in China because a cooked lobster is red, a color that represents prosperity. Chinese New Year is typically a time of heavy travel in China, but that could also be different this year. China buys the same species of lobster from the U.S. and Canada, which has a large lobster industry in its Maritime provinces.
