Defense News: WASHINGTON — The executive order President Trump signed Friday ordering a government-wide review of America’s defense industry aims to help fulfill Trump’s promise to “rebuild” the military, a top U.S. trade official says.
White House Director of Trade and Industrial Policy Peter Navarro called the defense-industrial base “a major priority,” for Trump. The order, he said, “recognizes that the United States cannot be a global power without a preeminent military.”
“It also recognized that we cannot retain a preeminent military without a healthy, growing economy and a resilient industrial base,” Navarro said in a Fox News op-ed published Saturday.
