\n President Donald Trump claimed the United States has \u201cmassive amounts\u201d of munitions, following reports from various media, including CNN<\/a>, on the Pentagon\u2019s depleted stockpile.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cThe U.S. has massive amounts of \u2018munitions,\u2019 especially of certain types. Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. as needed,\u201d Trump posted on Truth Social<\/a> early Thursday.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cDefense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country\u2019s history,\u201d he added.\n <\/p>\n \n Trump later acknowledged certain munitions are in \u201ctighter\u201d supply after months of war with Iran, while insisting the US had other, less advanced types of weapons to continue fighting if necessary.\n <\/p>\n \n He also said replenishing weapons stocks is critical in case another conflict arises.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cWe have unlimited, virtual unlimited supply. We have others where it\u2019s a little bit tighter,\u201d Trump said in the Oval Office on Thursday when asked about the administration\u2019s request to Congress for additional weapons funding.\n <\/p>\n \n He said there are ample supplies of less advanced weapons as defense contractors ramp up production of Patriot missile interceptors and Tomahawk missiles.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cWe have certain types of munitions which are very \u2014 they may not be as accurate,\u201d he said. \u201cThey may not be, you know, they\u2019re not as elite.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cWe have elite, too, but we\u2019re watching that very closely,\u201d he went on. \u201cBut we have certain types which are very powerful and very good, and we have an unlimited supply, and so we\u2019re in great shape.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cWe have to have more. We have other things maybe come up, maybe come up, and maybe don\u2019t come up,\u201d he concluded. \u201cHopefully, nothing else does come up. But we\u2019re in very good shape. We have literally massive amounts of ammunition.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
