He luvs this kind of thing even if it’s not a treaty exactly. International trade is the game. The 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty we know about and so does he, but he is in no hurry to do something about that either, and that is his Prime Maxim: There is no hurry to do something.

President's Statement on Advancing U.S. Interests in the World's Oceans
RSS Feed White House News
I am acting to advance U.S. interests in the worlds oceans in two important ways.
First, I urge the Senate to act favorably on U.S. accession to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea during this session of Congress. Joining will serve the national security interests of the United States, including the maritime mobility of our armed forces worldwide. It will secure U.S. sovereign rights over extensive marine areas, including the valuable natural resources they contain. Accession will promote U.S. interests in the environmental health of the oceans. And it will give the United States a seat at the table when the rights that are vital to our interests are debated and interpreted.
