周二，唐纳德·特朗普宣布将在巴尔的摩新建一座耗资66亿美元的造船厂。
该项目部分资金由美国政府提供，但所有权则归Anduril Industries这家与政界关系密切的国防企业所有。这座造船厂位于斯帕罗斯角地区一处目前闲置的造船厂原址。
Baltimore project to be partly funded by US government but owned by defense firm Anduril, founded by Palmer Luckey Donald Trump on Tuesday announced the opening of a new $6.6bn shipbuilding factory in Baltimore, partly funded by the US government but owned by Anduril Industries, a politically connected defense company.
此次特朗普的出席对Anduril Industries而言是一大助力，因为该公司的创始人帕尔默·拉基正是共和党的重要竞选资金捐助者。
Trump’s appearance at a currently unused shipyard in Sparrows Point is a boost to Anduril, whose founder, Palmer Luckey, is a major GOP campaign fundraiser.
据《卫报》今年8月报道，拉基曾为包括特朗普在内的至少20名共和党人士举办筹款活动，自2017年以来已向共和党相关事业累计捐款590万美元。
Luckey has hosted campaign fundraisers for at least 20 Republican politicians, including Trump, the Guardian reported in August. He has given $5.9m to Republican causes since 2017.
