U.S. Senator Tim Kaine, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, released the following statement after the Trump Administration announced that they will reverse their plans to early-retire the USS Truman:

"As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I have pushed hard against the Administration's plans to mothball the Truman at the midpoint of its working life. I am gratified that the Administration listened and is now committed to the refueling. This is the right call for our national security."
