WASHINGTON — April 16, 2025 — U.S. Senator Todd Young (R-Ind.) voiced support Wednesday for President Donald Trump’s new executive order aimed at revitalizing the U.S. shipbuilding and maritime industries.
“President Trump understands that we need to build more ships here in the United States,” Young said in a statement issued by his office. “This executive order recognizes the urgent need for a comprehensive approach to reinvigorate the U.S. shipbuilding and maritime industries, sharing the same goals as the SHIPS for America Act.”
Young cited national security concerns, saying that the decline of America’s shipbuilding capacity has allowed China to gain a strategic edge at sea. He said Trump’s executive action aligns with many provisions of the SHIPS for America Act, a bipartisan bill Young co-authored with Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) in December 2024.
“In the coming weeks, we will reintroduce the SHIPS for America Act with renewed support to provide the congressional authorizations needed to truly revitalize the American shipbuilding and maritime industries,” Young said.
The SHIPS for America Act is expected to be reintroduced in Congress later this spring.
