Experts from Russia: Why did Trump establish the "Golden Fleet"?
This is a signal to China, but it may not be successful.
On December 24, the Russian Public Television published an article.
Trump claimed that the United States has launched a new battleship construction plan named after himself,
and promised that these ships will be the largest warships in American history.
Trump's plan is a signal to China.
Russian expert on American issues Grigory Yaregin believes that this also indicates the US authorities' attempt to "stimulate" the domestic defense industry.
He specifically pointed out that because China is building new warships, the US must "repay in kind".
Experts believe that the US military-industrial complex has been lobbying for the establishment of a new "Golden" fleet.
As for Trump, by announcing a large-scale shipbuilding plan, he shows that he will "firmly grasp" the US defense industry, and control it through government orders.
Yaregin believes: All of this is a message to China, but I really doubt how much it can achieve,
because this is exactly Donald Trump's style - making a lot of promises, spending a lot of money, and serving American interests.
Then what?
Actually, three years later, it won't be his problem anymore.
