Trump denies ammo shortage amid Defense Secretary dispute
U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the United States possesses "massive" stockpiles of ammunition, threatening to pursue anyone who promotes otherwise. This comes after reports claimed there was a shortage in the stockpile and a disagreement with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin over the Iran conflict. Trump emphasized that Washington has large reserves, especially of certain types of ammunition, and that defense companies are building more factories and facilities than at any time in the country's history. However, reports have indicated that the ammunition shortage has affected the U.S. strategy in the Iran conflict, particularly concerning long-range guided missiles and air defense systems, with the army nearing depletion of about 80% of the THAAD system's stockpile. Trump also labeled leaks about the ammunition shortage as "treason" and vowed to pursue those who reveal such information. The court's decision is seen as justifying Trump's claims and reaffirming the existence of substantial American ammunition reserves, despite reports of shortages. The controversy surrounding this issue continues.
