President Donald Trump stated Thursday night that the United States possesses an 'endless stockpile' of ammunition and that the country always seeks more. The brief remark, the latest in a series of presidential statements on US munitions levels, comes amid the ongoing US military campaign against Iran. As The Zioneer reported on Tuesday, Trump recently rebutted a Reuters report suggesting a shortage of missiles and interceptors, asserting that the US has more ammunition than any other country. The president has also threatened leakers of such reports with long prison sentences. The current statement reinforces his consistent position that US military stockpiles are sufficient for ongoing operations. The White House has not provided specific inventory figures, and independent verification remains difficult.
