Baltimore Ravens star Marlon Humphrey will join President Trump in Charm City as the White House unveils a $3.7 billion submarine shipyard expected to create thousands of jobs.
The Ravens cornerback is scheduled to meet with Trump ahead of the president’s remarks later Tuesday at Sparrows Point, where Trump will announce plans for a major new shipyard at Tradepoint Atlantic.
The Post reported that other Ravens players are also expected on hand for the appearance, a rare blue-state stop tied to a manufacturing push the administration wants voters to see before the Nov. 3 midterm elections.
Trump adviser Alex Bruesewitz framed Humphrey as more than a guest athlete.
Bruesewitz told The Post:
"Marlon Humphrey is a great talent, player, and leader for the Ravens"
He added:
"He is also widely respected in the locker room and the city of Baltimore."
The two men are expected to talk about Humphrey’s charity work and a shared interest in football and golf before Trump takes the stage.
The announcement centers on a $3.7 billion shipyard to be built with Anduril Industries. The facility is meant to manufacture critical components for the Virginia-class submarine.
Planners expect the project to create 3,100 jobs. The shipyard would cover about 2 million square feet on 187 acres, roughly the size of 40 football fields, inside Tradepoint Atlantic, a 3,300-acre logistics and industrial center on the site of the old Bethlehem Steel works.
Tradepoint already handles much of the freight moving through the Port of Baltimore, one of the 20 busiest ports in the country. Turning that ground into submarine component production fits a larger White House claim that manufacturing employment is climbing again in blue-collar industries.
Humphrey, a 10-year NFL veteran who has spent his entire career with the Ravens, gives the event a local face in a city that does not often host this kind of Republican industrial rollout.
Trump has repeatedly said he wants the Navy to invest in building more ships. In April 2025 he signed an executive order aimed at rebuilding the country’s maritime industrial base. Tuesday’s Baltimore stop is the latest public step in that line.
In the past few weeks he has also announced a new steel plant in Iowa and a natural gas pipeline in Alaska. The Baltimore visit lands in the middle of a campaign swing that has included Texas, Alabama, and Nebraska as he works to boost Republican candidates.
The White House is leaning hard on its jobs and manufacturing record. Polling cited in the same reporting shows voters remain worried about the economy, which is why a $3.7 billion yard and a four-digit job count are being put on stage in a Democratic stronghold rather than left to a press release.
Charm City gets the submarine facility pitch. A Ravens leader stands beside the president. The former steel acreage gets another industrial chapter. And the midterm calendar sits right behind the announcement.
When a blue-state port city hears a shipyard number in the billions, the message is simple: build here, hire here, and make the Navy’s work closer to home.
