Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance

President Donald Trump has issued an order titled "Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance" aimed at revitalizing the U.S. maritime industry and workforce to enhance national security and economic prosperity. The order mandates the creation of a comprehensive Maritime Action Plan (MAP) within 210 days, coordinated by the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs and other key departments, to address the decline in U.S. shipbuilding and maritime capabilities. It includes measures such as securing federal funding, incentivizing private investment, and implementing tariffs against unfair practices by the People’s Republic of China. Additionally, the order seeks to establish a Maritime Security Trust Fund, improve procurement efficiency, and expand mariner training and education to strengthen the U.S. maritime industrial base.
