Trump Announces Baltimore Submarine Shipyard Amidst Wide-Ranging Address
Donald Trump unveils a new Anduril submarine shipyard in Baltimore while discussing trade policy and global military strategy with Naval Academy students.
POLICY WIRE — Baltimore, USA — Donald Trump addressed a gathering of Navy midshipmen and senior military officials on Tuesday to announce the development of a new submarine shipyard at Sparrows Point, Maryland.
The facility is set to be constructed by defense contractor Anduril and will focus on supporting the production of the Navy’s latest autonomous submarine vessels.
Despite the focus on defense infrastructure, the president’s remarks shifted toward a broad discussion covering the U.S. strike on Venezuela, the conflict in Iran, and his administration’s ongoing trade and tariff strategies.

During the address, Trump characterized tariffs as his fifth favorite word, placing the term behind wife and God in his personal hierarchy. He suggested that these trade policies have been instrumental in revitalizing the nation’s wealth and industrial capacity.
The president specifically credited his tariff agenda for the current expansion of domestic car manufacturing, telling the audience that the country would not be seeing such growth without these measures.
The event, which took place in front of a combat vessel, saw the president exclude Maryland state officials from the proceedings while speaking to the students who traveled from the Naval Academy in Annapolis.
