US-Marine in Nahost: Trump spielt Missstände auf Flugzeugträger herunter
Von angeblichen Missständen und Versorgungsengpässen an Bord der „USS Abraham Lincoln“ will US-Präsident Trump nichts wissen. Er hält am Einsatz fest, macht aber auch eine Ankündigung.
Despite reports of misconduct aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln, which has been deployed in the Middle East for months, US President Donald Trump remains committed to the military operation. In a video clip from CBS News, Trump responded to a journalist's question about whether the deployment has been going on for too long: "No, no, no. By far not long enough."
Trump also downplayed concerns expressed by family members of the personnel involved about the conditions on board the aircraft carrier, stating that the ship would soon be relieved and replaced by a "very similar ship." This partially confirmed media reports that the aircraft carrier was being moved from the Middle East and would be replaced by the USS George Washington.
While the Wall Street Journal, as well as US broadcasters CNN and NBC News, reported this based on sources, CNN stated that the ship swap was already planned prior to the personnel complaints. Trump did not disclose the name of the USS George Washington.
