Administrația Trump confirmă opt tentative de sinucidere în grupul portavionului USS Abraham Lincoln

The Trump administration acknowledged eight suicide attempts among U.S. Navy personnel aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln during its extended deployment, which included combat operations against Iran. The Secretary of the Navy reported these incidents in response to concerns about the mental health and morale of the crew. The deployment lasted nearly nine months, with the group facing significant operational pressure and limited port visits. Reports indicated low morale, mental health issues, and inadequate living conditions aboard the ship. Critics, including Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, highlighted the seriousness of the situation, contradicting previous claims by administration officials that downplayed the issues. The Navy stated that personnel had access to mental health resources, but concerns about the deployment's duration and its impact on sailors remain.
