President Donald Trump said he had no involvement in what was reportedly a request from his administration to move a U.S. Navy ship bearing the name of the late Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona that was stationed near the site of his recent speech in Japan.

The Navy, meanwhile, disputed claims that efforts were made to obscure the warship’s name during Trump’s visit.
