Currents Update: President Trump’s EO on Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance
Currents Update: President Trump’s EO on Restoring America’s Maritime Dominance On April 9, 2025, President Donald J. Trump issued Executive Order 14269, directing the creation of America’s Maritime Action Plan (MAP) — a national strategy aimed at rebuilding U.S. maritime strength across shipbuilding, workforce development, and industrial capacity. The MAP was officially released last week on February 13, 2026, marking a major milestone in the administration’s maritime agenda. Over the coming days, I’ll be breaking down the EO, the MAP, and the developments that have unfolded since the order was issued. Expect focused analysis on key themes and potential opportunities for our shipbuilding community. Stay tuned — and let me know in the comments which areas you want me to explore first.
