SHIPS WILL BE BUILT IN AMERICA AGAIN! JAPAN WILL BE FUNDING IT! 🇺🇸

President Trump announced a Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi to boost joint shipbuilding efforts, focusing on commercial and defense vessels.

This builds on Japan's $550 billion investment pledge from a July 2025 trade deal, targeting U.S. industrial revival amid competition from China (which holds ~70% of global orders).

Key elements include Japanese funding for new U.S. yards, facility upgrades, cross-repairs, parts supply, workforce training, and AI integration for design—aiming to create U.S. jobs while retaining 90% of profits domestically.
