Trump: I didn't expect the situation to be like this. Well, maybe we don't investigate anymore?
It's fine for Trump to demand an investigation into the U.S. defense industry supply chain, but this investigation has revealed that the U.S. Navy's Ford-class aircraft carriers might face production halts!
According to the results of the U.S. investigation, the U.S. Navy's Ford-class aircraft carriers not only use thousands of Chinese-made electronic chips and other components, but many of the steels used in building the carriers also come from China.
The purpose of Trump's investigation into the U.S. defense industry supply chain was to find "Made in China" related to the supply chain and remove them, but what Trump did not expect is that now the results have come out, and if the previous plan is executed, the Ford-class aircraft carrier can only be suspended!
The Ford-class aircraft carrier certainly cannot be suspended, but if it is not suspended, it must continue to use "Made in China", which is a dilemma for Trump. It is estimated that Trump has already regretted his decision to investigate the U.S. defense industry supply chain. This is not revealing his own shortcomings!
In fact, as the world's largest industrial country and manufacturing power, China is closely related to "Made in China" for any country in the world, including many military products. For example, all of America's missiles, radars, etc., almost rely on related rare earth products from China. Why do the Ford-class aircraft carriers use so much "Made in China"? The relevant products may be capable of being manufactured by the United States, but if the Ford-class aircraft carriers are entirely made in the U.S., the cost could double, which would be disastrous for the U.S. Navy!
Therefore, this review initiated by Trump on the U.S. defense industry supply chain may end up in nothing, because Trump has no effective solution.
