The United States has begun replenishing its weapons stockpiles at an unprecedented rate, US President Donald Trump said on Tuesday.
“I just had a great conversation with the leaders of our armed forces. This is the strongest military we have ever had, and we are stockpiling weapons at a rate our country has never seen. But let's hope we never have to use them!“ Trump wrote on his social network Truth Social.
Last year, the Pentagon acknowledged that military support for Ukraine had exposed a set of problems in the US military-industrial complex, including difficulties in maintaining, restoring and expanding the stockpile of weapons for the needs of the US military, which threatens Washington's own combat readiness.
