Trump boasts about US military might in commissioning new aircraft carrier

‘US President Donald Trump boasts about the rebirth of his nation’s military power while commissioning the country’s newest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, referring to it as “a 100,000-ton message to the world” of American military might.
“Wherever this vessel cuts through the horizon our allies will rest easy and our enemies will shake with fear because everyone will know that America is coming and America is coming strong,” Trump said on Saturday in an address during the official commissioning of the state-of-the art warship named after the 38th US president, AP reported.
Trump spoke aboard the $12.9 billion warship at the huge naval base in Norfolk, Virginia, criticizing what he described as a lack of investment in new military technology and “a shortfall in military readiness” under the previous administration of Barack Obama.
He further called on the nation’s Congress to approve higher military spending to facilitate the manufacture of “the best equipment. He also urged the legislative body “to do its job and pass the budget,” which increases funding for the military.’
