President Donald J. Trump addressed sailors and Navy personnel aboard the USS George Washington during his visit to Japan. The stop, part of a series across Asia, saw the Commander-in-Chief give a fiery address on the aircraft carrier before he broke into his trademark dance to “YMCA.”
Joined by Japan’s new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi at the Yokosuka Naval Base, Trump told the sailors that the Navy’s power doesn’t come from machines, but from “the men and women of the rank and file.”
“It comes from you people, incredible people, good-looking people, too many good-looking people,” Trump said.
Trump told the American and Japanese attendees that the US will be working with Japan on “making ships.”
Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick has signed a Memorandum of Understanding to boost cooperation in shipbuilding.
