Quote : A new missile factory is set for construction in southern Arkansas.

The company RTX, formerly known as Raytheon, is building the facility in Camden. The projected cost is $33 million, and should create 30 new jobs.

At a press conference Thursday, Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders said she was proud of the weapons Arkansas builds and sends worldwide.

“The only way to have a safe America, is to have a strong America,” she said. “Our enemies are on the march and they have their targets set squarely on the backs of Americans.”

Only 30 jobs for a "missile factory"?

The governor spoke about a trip she took to the Paris Air Show earlier this year hoping to strengthen the aviation and defense economy in Arkansas.

I do enjoy this tie-in to the podium scandal. Curious if they're trying to spin at as a "see! it was a business trip only and nothing else!"
