Trump "Pays Tribute to China", Acknowledges that the US Shipbuilding Industry is Behind.
On October 27, Trump was interviewed on Air Force One, and he said, "We are pushing for the revival of the shipbuilding industry. We lost it decades ago, which was not supposed to happen. China is building a lot of ships, and I have to pay tribute to China. But we will return to the top or at least be on par with them..."
Trump's statement "at least be on par with them..." clearly shows a lack of confidence, and the words "paying tribute to China" also subtly contain envy towards China.
China's shipbuilding industry accounts for more than 60% of the global share, while the US almost only maintains the military ship sector. Trump wants to revive the US shipbuilding industry and rebuild the entire manufacturing supply chain system. This is not something that can be solved by just saying a few words or shouting a slogan.
