Core Event
President Donald Trump is set to hold a dinner for more than 100 hunters, anglers and outdoor-industry executives in the White House Rose Garden on Thursday evening. During the event he is expected to sign two executive orders in the Oval Office that aim to broaden access to America’s public lands and waterways for hunting and fishing activities.
Background & Context
The administration’s agenda follows recent regulations issued by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service under the Biden administration, which imposed station-specific requirements for lead-free ammunition and tackle at several national wildlife refuges. The upcoming orders are described as a reversal of those lead-ammunition restrictions.
Data & Statistics
- The outdoor-recreation sector is reported to generate more than $1.2 trillion annually for the United States and to support over 5 million jobs, according to a White House official.
- Attendees are expected to include representatives from Bass Pro Shops, the Cabela Family Foundation, the National Rifle Association, the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation, Yamaha Marine Group, Polaris, Beretta USA, Safari Club International and other firms.
What’s Next
The two executive orders will be signed in the Oval Office later on Thursday. They are expected to lift existing lead-ammunition restrictions at federal refuges and to initiate regulatory reviews aimed at simplifying permitting processes for hunting and fishing on public lands. The administration has indicated that further guidance on the new policies will be issued in the coming weeks.
