CONCORD, N.H. — New Hampshire’s Democratic congressional delegation says the Trump administration’s plan to take funds from military construction projects to build a border wall could hurt the Portsmouth Naval Shipyard and the New Hampshire National Guard.
In a letter dated to the administration dated Tuesday, U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen said she’s exploring every option to protect shipyard and National Guard resources.

The letter noted that last year, the Navy released a plan to address deficiencies across naval shipyards calling for a $21 billion investment over 20 years for dry dock and other improvements.
It also emphasized a Guard-supported Readiness Center in Pembroke that could be at risk if the funds are taken.
