周二,美国总统唐纳德·特朗普宣布,将在马里兰州的斯帕罗斯角建造美国规模最大的新造船厂。国防技术企业安杜里尔将投入37亿美元,美国海军也将出资29亿美元用于该项目建设。
US President Donald Trump on Tuesday announced the construction of the largest new shipyard in the US at Sparrows Point in Maryland, with a $3.7 billion investment by defense technology company Anduril alongside a $2.9 billion contribution from the Navy.
特朗普在施工现场表示:“今天,我们正式启动二战以来美国规模最大的新造船厂的建设工程。”
"Today, we're officially launching the construction of the largest new shipyard in the United States" since World War II, Trump said at the site.
他还称:“对于我国及巴尔的摩市而言,这堪称一次重大胜利。安杜里尔将斥资37亿美元打造一座尖端造船厂,该厂日后将被称为‘兵工厂2号’。”
"In a tremendous victory for our country and for the city of Baltimore, Anduril is investing $3.7 billion in a state-of-the-art shipyard that will be known forever as Arsenal-2," he said.
特朗普补充道:“就在斯帕罗斯角,我们将建造新一代美国潜艇,包括自主式潜艇、鱼雷发射管,以及弗吉尼亚级攻击型核潜艇所需的关键零部件。”
"Right here in Sparrows Point, you'll build the next generation of American submarines, including autonomous subs, torpedo tubes, and critical components for our cutting-edge Virginia-class attack submarines," he added.
据悉,美国海军还将额外投入29亿美元用于支持造船厂建设,未来采购金额有望达到210亿美元。特朗普还透露,美国纳税人将持有这座新造船厂40%的股份。此外,特朗普表示今年美国国防预算额将增至1.5万亿美元。
Trump said the US Navy is contributing an additional $2.9 billion to support the shipyard, with the possibility of $21 billion in future purchases. "American taxpayers will receive a 40% stake in the new shipyard," he added. Trump also said the US defense budget would rise to $1.5 trillion this year.
他说道:“虽然现在说还为时过早,但我们已突破1万亿美元大关,今年预算额预计将达到1.5万亿美元。”
"I don't want to speak too early, but we broke the trillion mark, and we're going to be at 1.5," he said.
