President Donald Trump announced on social media platform X on September 1 that he has nominated Hung Cao to serve as the next Secretary of the Navy. Trump described Cao as a "true WARRIOR" and emphasized the need for patriots like him to lead the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps.
In his post, Trump wrote: "I am pleased to nominate a true WARRIOR, Hung Cao, to become the next Secretary of the Navy. We need Patriots like Hung leading our Navy and Marine Corps, and I can think of no one better than him to make sure our Great Navy and Marine Corps remain the FIERCEST and BEST Force the World has ever seen."
Trump also called on the Senate to confirm Cao "ASAP" so he can continue the "fantastic work he has been doing over the past 4 months." Further details about Cao's background and prior work have not been disclosed in the public statement.
