United States President Donald Trump on Thursday defended himself on a recent controversy over his administration wanting the USS John McCain "out of sight" during his recent trip to Japan, saying he was not apprised of any such action."I was not informed about anything having to do with the Navy Ship USS John S. McCain during my recent visit to Japan. Nevertheless, @FLOTUS and I loved being with our great Military Men and Women - what a spectacular job they do!," tweeted Trump.Trump has targeted former senator John S. McCain, after whom the ship was named, on several occasions.

"There is a lot of criticism of how much I speak about my dad, but nine months since he passed, Trump won't let him RIP. So I have to stand up for him. It makes my grief unbearable".The US Navy in 2018 just before McCain's death added his name to the ship, who is already named after USS John McCain after his father and Grandfather. The ship is stationed in Tokyo since its fatal crash in 2017.( With inputs from ANI )
