Wow. Please educate yourself.

It was more or less a court case. It was aruged, arbitrators were involved, and then there was a ruling.
It seems Mexico has the same policies the US has, as do other countries, but instead that Mexico wasn't willing to put up with US demands, which only seemed to apply to Mexico.
Mexico said it had cut dolphin deaths to minimal levels but that it was being discriminated against by U.S. demands for paperwork and sometimes government observers. Tuna catches from other regions did not face the same stringent tests, it said.

It's not about the evils of killing dolphins. It's about the United States demanding paperwork and a level of supervision that ONLY Mexico has to deal with.
You would think the Trump administration would have sat up and took notice of this legal issue. This is more important now than it was four years ago because our relationship with Mexico has changed drastically. I know, the Trump administration is super busy with fighting executive orders about protecting us from non existent terrorist attacks from terrorists in other countries.
You continue to say "educate yourself" but the reality of this is you are the one who fails to do any research on these issues. It's not about "No civilized person wants to allow Mexico to kill dolphins" as you claimed, but instead that the United States is forcing Mexico to comply with rules and regulations that only apply to Mexico and not any other country.
