In a post on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump stated that the United States possesses large quantities of ammunition, particularly certain types, and emphasized ongoing production and supply capabilities. Reports by CNN and the Washington Post had previously suggested potential shortages, especially of Tomahawk missiles and Patriot air defense systems, which are critical for operations in the Middle East and support for allies like Ukraine. These reports relied on anonymous sources within the defense sector. During a summit at Camp David, Trump reportedly demanded explanations from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth regarding these alleged shortages. Hegseth reportedly shifted responsibility to his deputy, Stephen Feinberg, while Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell dismissed the reports as fabricated. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt also called the reported confrontation between Trump and Hegseth 'fake news,' asserting Trump’s complete trust in Hegseth.
