Trump Pushes for ‘Golden Fleet’ of Navy Warships

“President Trump has said he wants a whole new fleet of warships. And now they have a name,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“Senior White House and Navy officials are in early discussions to replace the current mix of warships with a new ‘Golden Fleet’ that would be better suited to counter China and other potential future threats.”

“Trump, who has previously criticized the look of modern warships, is involved in the plans and has had multiple conversations with Navy officials about the new vessels.”
