Construction of Arctic Security Cutters
Presidential Memorandum October 08, 2025

Construction of Arctic Security Cutters

President Donald Trump has issued a memorandum directing the construction of up to four Arctic Security Cutters (ASCs) to address national security threats in the Arctic region. The memorandum acknowledges that the current U.S. Coast Guard fleet is inadequate to meet operational demands, posing a risk to U.S. sovereignty and interests. It allows for the temporary construction of these vessels in foreign shipyards, with a plan to eventually bring this expertise back to the U.S. The directive is a time-limited measure, set to terminate in four years unless extended, and aims to fill a critical capability gap while maintaining future investment in the U.S. industrial base.

Stopping Radical Environmentalism to Generate Power for the Columbia River Basin

President Donald Trump issued a memorandum directing the revocation of a previous presidential memorandum aimed at restoring fish populations in the Columbia River Basin. This action is intended to prioritize energy generation and lower living costs over environmental concerns, specifically opposing the breaching of four dams on the Lower Snake River, which would have reduced hydroelectric capacity. The memorandum instructs various federal departments to withdraw from a related legal agreement and halt the preparation of a supplemental environmental impact statement. These departments are also tasked with reporting back on actions taken under the previous memorandum and identifying steps to align with the current administration's policies.
