President Donald Trump said on X on August 6 that the United States possesses massive amounts of munitions, with large quantities being manufactured and shipped to the country as needed. He also asserted that defense companies are constructing the largest number of plants and factories in the nation's history.
"The U.S. has massive amounts of 'munitions,' especially of certain types. Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the U.S. as needed," Trump wrote. He added that individuals leaking "treasonous statements" are being tracked down, and that "long term jail sentences will be sought."
The statement, posted on his social media platform, did not specify which types of munitions or which defense companies are involved. Trump's remarks come amid ongoing debates over military aid and domestic defense production capacity.
