Trump rails at munition leaks as Iran talks loom
TL;DR
President Trump privately vented about reports of dwindling U.S. munitions stocks, saying leaks undermine America’s leverage in Iran negotiations; during a Camp David cabinet meeting he blamed leakers rather than officials like Defense Secretary Hegseth, while White House aides push for more production (with steps like the Defense Production Act) as Gulf allies warn that defense-readiness could be affected by the stockpile shortage.
