The Trump administration Monday halted the construction of all U.S. offshore wind projects. The Interior Department said it paused the federal leases for five projects in the works from Massachusetts to Virginia, citing national security risks identified by the Pentagon.

The WSJ’s Jennifer Hiller writes that this is the most significant action the administration has taken thus far against the burgeoning U.S. business. The decision affects Vineyard Wind 1 off Martha’s Vineyard; Revolution Wind, which is intended to deliver power to Rhode Island and Connecticut; Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind; and Sunrise Wind and Empire Wind 1, off the coast of New York.

The offshore-wind business already has faced financial setbacks, as wages soared after the pandemic, higher interest rates drove up borrowing costs and the industry faced a global shortage of vessels needed to haul turbines and their foundations from ports to job sites.

Kargo Technologies raised a $42 million Series B funding round, beating the odds in a tough fundraising environment thanks to success integrating AI into its supply-chain technology.

The Journal’s Marc Vartabedian writes that Kargo deploys 10-foot-tall towers and lifts at industrial loading docks that use cameras, lidar and thermal sensors, combined with AI, to gather data on freight entering and exiting facilities. Customers can track and manage their shipments of goods using the data.

Venture investors committed $7.8 billion to supply-chain tech companies this year through the third quarter, below last year’s full-year total of $16.5 billion and far below the record $64.1 billion raised in 2021, according to analytics firm PitchBook Data.

President Trump unveiled plans for a new “Trump-class” battleship, which will become the centerpiece of his vision for the Navy’s new “Golden Fleet.” He also announced a new class of aircraft carrier, but didn’t offer further details. The news follows the Navy’s announcement last week that it will commission a new class of frigates.

The first ship in the Trump class will be the USS Defiant. Construction would begin “almost immediately” and would take 2½ years, Trump said. The Journal’s Lara Seligman and Marcus Weisgerber write that the new ship will be an upgrade to the Navy’s Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. The Navy could buy 20 to 25 of the new ships, Trump said.
