Trump "Must start building U.S. traps...We could use allies."

U.S. President-elect Donald Trump has expressed his intention to use allies to build ships, saying the U.S. is not capable of building naval ships right now.

Speaking on conservative radio, Trump said Biden had been sitting still and watching over shipbuilding, adding that we may have to build a ship and take a different path than usual.

In the meantime, we said that we will announce something very good regarding the Navy and that we will order from other countries until we are ready.

In a phone call with President Yoon Suk Yeol shortly after his election in November, Trump said he was well aware of South Korea's ability to build warships and said he would work closely with South Korea on ship exports, repairs and maintenance.

Trump also reiterated his intention to deal with the border and tax cut pledge bill in one and warned that the Biden administration's eco-friendly policies are fraudulent and that it will take back trillions of dollars.
