President Trump said on Friday that family members were not worried about the USS Abraham Lincoln's record-breaking deployment, which has lasted over 250 days. He maintained that the aircraft carrier's time at sea was not excessive, even with reports of mental health problems and supply deficiencies. Another carrier, the USS George Washington, is now replacing the Lincoln in the Middle East.
