Trump announces new 'Trump-class' battleships for US Navy's 'golden fleet'

President Donald Trump announced plans for the construction of a new line of battleships for the United States Navy on Monday, which the president claims will be "one hundred times more powerful" than any warship ever built.

The president, who is spending the Christmas holidays at his private club in South Florida, made the announcement alongside Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and Secretary of the Navy John Phelan.

"Each one of these will be the largest battleship in the history of our country, the largest battleship in the history of the world ever built," Trump stated at Mar-a-Lago. "They'll help maintain American military supremacy, revive the American shipbuilding industry, and inspire fear in America's enemies all over the world. We want respect. We're going to have it."
