IS TRUMP'S NEW NAVY BUDGET DEAD ON ARRIVAL?

摘要

WASHINGTON AND MUNICH — President Donald J. Trump's administration delivered a $207.1 billion budget for Fiscal Year 2021 that promises to hike your pay, scrap four littoral combat ships, trim the number of gapped billets at sea, invest in a future robot fleet and stockpile ship-killer missiles in case war breaks out with China. But it also threatens to slash shipbuilding by 20 percent, scrubbing plans to start work on a $2.9 billion Virginia-class submarine, plus another nine warships in coming years. And that triggered Capitol Hill lawmakers to cross aisles to block Trump's shipbuilding-busting budget, setting the stage for a loud debate over the Pentagon's push to build a 355-ship Navy by 2030.
