President Donald Trump is expected to make an announcement about shipbuilding alongside his Pentagon chief and Navy secretary on Monday, according to a person familiar with the plans. The announcement, set for 4:30 p.m. ET from Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, comes amid a massive US naval buildup in the Caribbean Sea.
The Navy on Friday announced it would commission a new class of frigates, built in the United States, as part of the new "Golden Fleet," which Trump envisions as a more advanced collection of ships meant to better counter China. Frigates are designed to protect sea lanes and protect larger vessels.
