President Donald Trump is facing criticism after downplaying concerns over the USS Abraham Lincoln’s nearly nine-month deployment amid the U.S.-Iran war. Asked about the record-length deployment, Trump said it was “not nearly long enough,” as lawmakers raise concerns about sailors’ mental health, supplies and prolonged time at sea. The carrier has been supporting U.S. military operations against Iran. Democratic lawmakers are now pressing the Pentagon for greater accountability over conditions aboard the warship and the strain on American sailors.
