U.S. President Donald Trump touted a US$5.5-billion Navy contract awarded to Fincantieri Marinette Marine in Wisconsin on Thursday. The contract would see the company build the service's first new frigate, which is a type of warship, with options for nine more. The deal is expected to lead to the hiring of about 1,000 American workers.

Trump also slammed Canada during his discussion about the contract, lauding the USMCA trade deal and saying that Canada "no longer takes advantage on trade."

The president also spoke about the United States ongoing response to the COVID-19 pandemic, saying the country has the greatest testing program in the world, once more claiming that "if we didn't test we wouldn't have cases, but we have cases because we test." He also claimed that the country had one of the lowest mortality rates.

Trump added that when he's asked which nation is most difficult to deal with, he says Democrats are "much tougher" to deal with than countries like China and North Korea, saying they were "far more unreasonable."
