They'll have to be built somewhere else because the yard they were built in is now closed.

If I had to guess he'd probably want them built either at Austal USA in Mobile, AL, or at Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia. Fincantieri Marinette Marine might be a possibility since they broke for Trump both times he won, but Bath Iron Works is out because it's in Maine.
