▶ Maritime Security Challenges: U.S. plans to expand maritime capabilities to address vulnerabilities against China’s shipbuilding dominance and Russia-North Korea’s illicit activities.
▶ MSMT's Objectives: The MSMT should leverage advanced technologies and international collaboration to strengthen sanctions enforcement and ensure global maritime security.
