The White House recently posted the America’s Maritime Action Plan, a strategic document mandated by last year’s executive order titled Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance.
In a letter to President Trump, MTD President David Heindel thanked him for backing the industry and conveyed the union’s strong support for the Maritime Action Plan.
“Our support for the Maritime Action Plan is unwavering,” Heindel wrote. “We look forward to working with you and your administration to help achieve its goals…. There is no doubt it will take great effort to implement the many components of the Maritime Action Plan, but we are confident that, collectively, we are all up to the task.”
