Trump Emphasizes Cooperation to Boost U.S. Naval Power, Mentions Korean Firms

U.S. President Donald Trump has emphasized the need for shipbuilding cooperation to strengthen the U.S. Navy, specifically mentioning South Korean companies.

President Trump stated early today (July 16) that "we need a lot of ships for the U.S. Navy" and added that "we will also be purchasing some ships built in other regions."

During the G7 summit last month, President Trump asked President Lee Jae-myung if it would be possible to quickly build 10 warships, to which President Lee responded during their subsequent meeting that he would cooperate as much as possible.
