President Trump announced a new submarine manufacturing facility in Baltimore, with several Ravens players in attendance.
President Trump announced a new submarine manufacturing facility at Sparrows Point in Baltimore on Tuesday. The shipyard, to be built by Anduril Industries, will cover about 2 million square feet across 187 acres at Tradepoint Atlantic, a 3,300-acre industrial centre. The facility is expected to create 3,100 jobs and manufacture critical components for Virginia-class submarines.
Trump's announcement emphasized job creation in blue-collar manufacturing. The White House has highlighted the project as part of a broader effort to demonstrate its jobs and manufacturing record, pointing to recent announcements of a new steel plant in Iowa and a natural gas pipeline in Alaska.
Four Baltimore Ravens players attended the event on their day off: cornerback Marlon Humphrey, kicker Tyler Loop, punter Ryan Eckley and long snapper Nick Moore. The players met with Trump before his remarks and were singled out during his speech. Trump told the assembled audience to stand up and called them 'big stars' and 'good looking guys'. He paid particular attention to Nick Moore, the long snapper, remarking on the importance of the position.
Marlon Humphrey, a 10-year veteran who has spent his entire career with the Ravens, was expected to discuss his charity work with Trump along with their shared interests in football and golf, according to Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz. The Ravens have a 3–1 record and lead the AFC North division.
The Tuesday visit marked a rare appearance by Trump in a blue state, amid a campaign swing to boost Republican candidates elsewhere. The announcement comes as the White House emphasizes its focus on manufacturing employment and job creation in blue-collar industries.
