U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that his administration will probably look at South Korean and other companies for shipbuilding cooperation to strengthen the Navy.
President Trump made the remarks during the Defense and Innovation Summit at the U.S. Army War College in Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania.
"We have to build our Navy... So, we're going to probably look at some of these companies that are coming in from South Korea and other places, and they're working with us on ships," he said.
Trump discussed shipbuilding cooperation with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung at the Group of Seven summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, last month. Earlier this month, a South Korean presidential official said Trump does not appear to rule out the possibility of U.S. naval vessels being built in South Korea.
