Secretary Markwayne Mullin hosted a press conference in New York City to mark the first anniversary of President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill, the largest Coast Guard investment since World II. The bill directed $25 billion in new funding, including $14.1 billion for cutters, $3.7 billion for aircraft and $6 billion for infrastructure. During the event, Mullin toured the Unified Command at the Javits Center, the harbor on a 45‑foot Response Boat Medium, and USCG Station New York, highlighting the agency’s expanded capabilities. Mullin said it was the most consequential bill of the Trump administration and the largest in Coast Guard history. A properly funded USCG is vital to protecting our homeland. The announcement precedes planned security operations for New York City’s upcoming historic events.
