"It's great to see the investment that President Trump and his administration is making in the Coast Guard, the largest investment since World War II. In dollar amount, it's the largest in history, investing almost $25 billion," said SecretaryMullin. "The One Big Beautiful Bill is the most consequential bill in President Trump's tenure, and also in recent history. This is what good government actually looks like. President Trump ran on law and order, and he's keeping that promise - the One Big Beautiful Bill delivered on that."
The One Big Beautiful Bill provided the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) with the following funds:
$14.1 billion for USCG cutters.
$3.7 billion for USCG aircraft.
$6 billion for USCG infrastructure.
This is the single largest investment in our Coast Guard since World War II. A properly funded USCG is vital to protecting our homeland, to include robust security operations for historic events in New York City this weekend.
