Trump said Monday the U.S. is producing more “exquisite and elite” weapons than ever and delivering them daily to American forces in the Middle East.
The statement directly pushed back on reports that U.S. munitions stockpiles are thinning as the war involving Iran continues to drive heavy demand.
Patriot missiles, THAAD anti-ballistic systems, Tomahawk missiles and other Standard Missile Systems were the weapons Trump singled out as current production priorities.
The comments underscore how the Iran conflict is sharpening scrutiny of U.S. arms capacity, supply levels and the pace of resupplying forces in the region.
