Donald Trump Admits US Lags Behind Russia in Icebreaker Fleet
US President Donald Trump said that the US had “only one” operational icebreaker while Russia had dozens, calling it “ridiculous” and admitting Washington had fallen far behind in the Arctic.
"You know, we only have one in the whole country. Russia has 48, and we have one. And that's just ridiculous," President Donald Trump admitted, adding that the US has ordered 11 new icebreakers in an attempt to narrow the gap.
