While attending a summit aimed at strengthening the foundation of the US defense industry, US President Trump urged defense contractors to speed up production and named GM. Trump spoke at the Pennsylvania Defense and Innovation Summit on Wednesday. The summit attracted a number of top US business executives, including J.P. Morgan Chase's Jamie Dimon and Boeing's Kelly Ortberg. In this sometimes far-fetched, wide-ranging speech, Trump expressed dissatisfaction with some companies, accusing them of being too slow in delivering weapon systems and ammunition. “I really don't want to mention that name right now because they're a little slower than we expected, but that's OK,” Trump said of GM. He mentioned the company's $2.5 billion investment plan related to submarine construction. “They make the best submarines in the world,” he continued. “We have to build faster. The only problem is that, we need submarines. But their products are really great.”
