Governor Wes Moore (D-MD) stated that his participation was blocked by the Trump administration at the groundbreaking ceremony for an Anduril facility in Baltimore County, which is set to produce submarine components under a $2.9 billion Navy contract. The White House countered by suggesting that it had invited Moore and accused him of being ungrateful. The facility, named Arsenal-2, will cover 2 million square feet and aims to speed up U.S. naval shipbuilding efforts.

Story summary

The facility is set to produce critical components for Virginia-class submarines and had been in negotiation with Maryland for over a year. Despite his efforts, Moore was not given a speaking role at the event, which he refused to attend. In response, the White House accused Moore of being ungrateful after it "graciously" invited him. The facility is expected to bring significant economic benefits, including job creation in the area.
