Trump pledges to build Coast Guard icebreakers, but it’s unclear how different his plan is from Obama’s
By Dan Lamothe May 17
President Trump said he would build "the first new heavy icebreakers the United States has seen in over 40 years," for the Coast Guard on May 17.
President Trump pledged Wednesday to build icebreaker ships that the Coast Guard has long sought to be able to navigate polar waterways, but offered no details about how they will be funded or whether his vision differs fundamentally from a plan established during the Obama administration.
Trump, speaking at the Coast Guard Academy commencement in New London, Conn., called the sea service “truly vital to the United States armed forces and truly vital to our great country,” before zeroing in on the icebreaker mission.

"Trump pledges to build Coast Guard icebreakers, but it’s unclear how different his plan is from obama’s"
I'll answer that.
Trump will actually have some new icebreakers built.
obama would "pledge" to support new icebreakers, and then... do nothing.
