“The United States has very large quantities of ‘war materials,’ especially of certain specific types. In addition, production is continuing according to needs,” the U.S. president wrote on the Truth Social platform.
His response comes as the U.S. administration faces calls to explain the state of the military arsenal. The conflict with Iran has now entered its sixth month, while the U.S. continues to send weapons to Ukraine as well.
CBS News reported that the United States has used up a large portion of its reserves of long-range precision missiles. Meanwhile, according to The Washington Post, concerns about weapons reserves have caused clashes between Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
The president dismissed these reports and warned that those responsible for releasing classified information would face punitive measures.
“The people who published these treasonous statements will be prosecuted. Long prison sentences will be sought for them,” Trump declared.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon continues to assert that U.S. reserves are sufficient and that weapons production is being expanded to meet rising demand.
