U.S. President Donald Trump stated on September 1 local time that he plans to nominate Kaohsiung as the next U.S. Navy Secretary.
Trump said on social media: "The Senate needs to confirm this as soon as possible, so that he can continue the excellent work he has been doing over the past four months."
According to CCTV news, Gao Xiong is a Vietnamese-American retired naval officer and currently the acting United States Navy Secretary.
On August 14th, local time, Tsunehisa Ohka stated in a statement regarding incidents such as low morale among the crew of the USS Lincoln and several individuals who attempted to commit suicide due to mental distress. He mentioned that "a small number" of soldiers on the USS Lincoln had mental health issues, but no one was injured after treatment.
Without a doubt, our young male and female fighters have been driven to their limits, but they've never bowed down,” he wrote on the X platform. “Of course, they are exhausted, but they've never given up on fighting.”
But he firmly asserted that the soldiers and their families were not victims, but rather "incarnations of American strength and resilience."
In addition, Gao Xiong refuted the claims of food shortages on the aircraft carrier. According to him, when fresh ingredients cannot be replenished in time, the meal plan is adjusted, but “not a single meal is missed.”
