Trump says US is building largest ammunition factories in its history

WASHINGTON, United States — WASHINGTON — US President Donald Trump said the country holds large ammunition stockpiles and is building more munitions plants than at any point in US history. He also said his administration would push for prison sentences for those who leak what he called "treasonous" statements. The comments come after the White House denied a Washington Post report that Trump had grown angry with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over ammunition shortages affecting US military options toward Iran. The newspaper, citing anonymous sources, said Trump believed the shortfall had been resolved and was frustrated when internal discussions showed the problem persisted. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said the report did not reflect reality and that there was no disagreement between Trump and Hegseth. Hegseth rejected claims that he had faced any rebuke or warning. Meanwhile, members of Congress have raised concerns about the impact of munitions used in the conflict with Iran on US military stockpiles.
