Trump dismisses concerns over conditions on US aircraft carrier

President Donald Trump addressed concerns on Friday regarding the living conditions and mental well-being of service members aboard a US aircraft carrier, the Abraham Lincoln, currently deployed against Iran. The President assured reporters that family members were not worried about the situation on the ship, which has been at sea for nine months.

Trump also dismissed suggestions that the aircraft carrier had been deployed for too long, stating emphatically that "no, no, no, not nearly enough." He confirmed that the Abraham Lincoln would be replaced by a similarly equipped ship in the near future, as the United States remains engaged in a standstill with Iran over the control of the Strait of Hormuz and the country's nuclear program.
