President Donald Trump signed an executive order Wednesday that seeks to revive US shipbuilding and will dispatch Elon Musk’s efficiency squad to investigate how the US Navy fell so far behind in turning out vessels.
The order is intended to blunt China’s maritime dominance by offering new funding streams to support American shipbuilding, according to a senior White House official who asked not to be identified discussing the document before its release.
