U.S. lawmakers visit South Korea and Japan to explore shipbuilding collaborations to enhance U.S. naval capabilities against China.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senators Tammy Duckworth and Andy Kim are visiting South Korea and Japan to explore collaboration in shipbuilding as a means to enhance U.S. naval capabilities, which they contend are lagging behind China. The purpose of the trip includes discussions with top shipbuilders to consider joint ventures for constructing and repairing vessels.
Duckworth expressed concerns over the declining capacity of U.S. shipyards, stating, “We have to rebuild the capacity." With proposals for significant foreign investment, the senators aim to strengthen auxiliary fleet construction and repair operations in the Indo-Pacific region.
Currently, U.S. commercial shipbuilding accounts for only 0.1% of global capacity, in stark contrast to China's 53%. As the Pentagon pushes for increased funding for shipbuilding, the trip reflects the urgency among U.S. policymakers to address the shifting maritime power balance.
