President Trump reiterated his warning against leaking reports of ammunition shortages, stating that officials could face long prison sentences, and asserted that the US has 'massive amounts' of weapons and production is meeting military needs. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Trump had already vowed long prison sentences for leakers and claimed the US is building its largest defense industrial base in history. The latest remarks come amid ongoing reports of munitions shortages in the US military, which the administration has repeatedly denied.
