Job creation of thousands of American jobs.
Credible outlets and official Navy materials report that President Trump announced plans to build a Trump-class battleship, with construction expected to involve U.S. shipyards and domestic suppliers. The Navy release states the program will be supported by over 1,000 suppliers in nearly every state, indicating substantial domestic industrial involvement. AP and CBS coverage report the announcement but do not provide a precise numeric estimate of jobs created; the claim that construction will create thousands of American jobs is not numerically verified by credible public sources. Verdict: Unclear - the evidence does not confirm the exact figure of thousands of jobs, though it suggests significant domestic employment potential.
