Trump blocks Maryland Governor Wes Moore from speaking at Baltimore submarine investment event

Maryland Governor Wes Moore, a Democrat, said President Donald Trump blocked him from speaking at a Tuesday event near Baltimore that unveiled a $3.7 billion investment by defense firm Anduril to build submarine components. Moore helped negotiate the deal, which will create over 3,100 jobs. A White House official said Moore was invited as a guest, not a speaker, and criticized his reaction. The event is part of a broader political dispute over credit for the investment in Maryland.
