flag Trump plans a new "Golden Fleet" of heavy warships to counter China, with an announcement expected soon.

flag President Donald Trump is exploring plans for a new "Golden Fleet" of advanced Navy warships, reportedly weighing 15,000 to 20,000 tons and equipped with long-range and potentially hypersonic missiles, to counter China’s military buildup and strengthen U.S. maritime dominance. flag The initiative, still in early stages, involves discussions between the White House, Pentagon, and Navy officials on developing heavily armored vessels to replace aging fleets, alongside a mix of manned and unmanned platforms. flag The proposal aligns with broader strategic goals, including a focus on the Western Hemisphere and preparations for Trump’s upcoming meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping. flag While no timeline or cost has been set, the White House has signaled an official announcement is imminent, though some defense experts urge prioritizing existing ship maintenance.
