Trump Nominates Hung Cao as Next U.S. Navy Secretary

特朗普提名高雄出任下一任美国海军部长

On September 1, U.S. President Donald Trump announced the nomination of Hung Cao, a Vietnamese-American Navy veteran and current acting Navy Secretary, to serve as the next Secretary of the Navy. Trump urged the Senate to confirm the nomination quickly. The report, sourced from China Central Television (CCTV), presents the appointment as a routine political development.
