Trump reveals surprise American taxpayer stake in new $6.6B submarine deal

What happened: Trump revealed a $6.6B submarine deal in which the U.S. government will hold a 40% non-controlling stake in a new company holding the Arsenal-2 shipyard in Baltimore, Maryland. Key numbers: $6.6B total effort. Navy up to $2.9B through General Dynamics Electric Boat. Anduril commits $3.7B. Government stake 40%. Why it matters: Anduril must qualify four test components and win Navy certification before it can compete for future production work, which is not guaranteed. The stake adds to administration equity arrangements with Intel and MP Materials.
