Navele de luptă dorite de Trump ar putea depăși costul celor mai scumpe portavioane americane. Cât ar costa „Flota de Aur”

The U.S. Congressional Budget Office estimates that President Trump's "Gold Fleet" could cost up to $275 billion by 2056, with the first ship alone projected at $23 billion. This fleet, consisting of 15 nuclear-powered warships, may become the most expensive in U.S. history, surpassing the USS Gerald Ford. The program's costs could rise further, impacting other military ship constructions. If Republicans lose control of the House in upcoming elections, the program may face cancellation. Senator Jeff Merkley criticized the spending amid rising costs for families, emphasizing the need for budget prioritization.
