NEW AD: Running nationally, and in states along the Gulf Coast, we're calling on Congress to take action to restore the critical American shipbuilding industry, create American jobs, and protect our shores.

We need to make American ships again, and @RussVought and the @WHOMB team recognize the importance of shipbuilding to our national security. I applaud Russ and the Trump administration for continuing to advance this critical priority.

China will build three of every four large cargo ships ordered this year.
America will build fewer than one in 100.
In a Pacific conflict, America won't have enough ships to keep its troops supplied.
But there is a way to address this critical security risk: the Strategic Commercial Fleet program. The SCF would triple the American fleet and use market economics to reduce costs for taxpayers.

America’s maritime strength is critical to our economic and national security.
At @HudsonInstitute, I discussed how the SHIPS for America Act would help rebuild American shipbuilding and ensure the United States can compete with China.
“Be relentless.”
America has the workers, industrial capacity, and determination to rebuild our maritime strength. Now we need to stay focused on the mission: getting the SHIPS for America Act across the finish line.
A powerful message from yesterday’s @HudsonInstitute discussion on the future of American shipbuilding. 🇺🇸⚓

.@jpmorgan CEO Jamie Dimon makes the case for the need to invest in and revitalize the American shipbuilding industry👇
“We didn't have productive capability to defend the United States if there was a real war that lasted for a long period of time. And that's a hell of a statement.”
@jpmorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warns that America has fallen dangerously behind in critical defense and manufacturing capacity—and says “we don't have a lot of time” to rebuild it.
JPMorgan’s $1.5 trillion Security and Resiliency Initiative includes investments in frontier defense technologies, critical mineral onshoring, aerospace, and advanced manufacturing and automation—including shipbuilding.

America used to be the leader in shipping and shipbuilding. We let that slip away. My SHIPS for America Act is how we get back to it: Great-paying jobs, stronger supply chains, and a fleet worthy of America. ⚓️

Chinese ships carry appliances, clothing, and household goods to America’s ports.
But what if they also brought missile launchers concealed in shipping containers? This is a possibility we must prepare for.

Ship parts can be made all over the United States, and I want more of those parts made right here in Michigan, by Michiganders. detroitnews.com/story/news/l…
.@SenToddYoung: "We have a plan to protect our ports and people, to build and launch a new fleet, manned by Americans mariners, flying the Stars and Stripes. Congress should pass the SHIPS Act without delay."

The Trump administration aims to "bulldoze bureaucracy" and dramatically accelerate U.S. commercial and naval shipbuilding to reverse a decades-long slide that has left the nation outpaced by China, according to White House Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought. trib.al/muWhiUv

Exciting news out of Texas. My SHIPS for America Act will continue to build on investments like this to revive America’s maritime industry. That’s good for our economic and national security, and it will creator thousands of great-paying jobs.

"We need to be thinking of this shipbuilding capacity every bit as much as our military capacity as a strategic asset that needs to be invested in"

I spoke with @POTUS at lunch and we both agree – we need to make American ships again.
We can’t let China control the seas.
Congress needs to pass the SHIPS for America Act.

Must read column from @SecScottBessent on how America’s economic security is a major part of our national security.
Ensuring that the U.S. isn’t reliant on China or other countries drives my policy work on ships, chips, critical minerals, tech innovation, drones, and biotech.

So do we - let's get it done!

Today, on National Maritime Day, we honor the generations of American workers who built and sustained the vessels that powered our economy, supported our military, and connected our nation to the world.
We also honor those who continue to build, maintain, and man our fleets.
The United States cannot afford to fall further behind in shipbuilding, repair, and maritime logistics. Rebuilding America’s maritime strength starts with investing in U.S. yards, U.S. workers, and U.S. supply chains.
Let’s end the Jones Act waivers, implement provisions of the Maritime Action Plan and pass the SHIPS for America Act, and end the discussion of offshoring the future of shipbuilding.
We can do this.
