Trump, Hegseth clashed at Camp David as US President felt 'misled' about weapons shortage – report
The White House issued a statement from Trump, saying the US had “far more munitions than anyone in the world" and "far more than we need," Reuters reported.
A Washington Post report on Wednesday, citing an anonymous source, claimed that US President Donald Trump confronted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at Camp David last Friday, expressing that he felt "misled" about a severe munitions shortage. The report suggested this shortage might have influenced Trump's decision not to launch a major attack on Iran. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, however, denied the report on X/Twitter, stating, "This literally never happened." She added that the story was an attempt to disparage the Secretary. Reuters reported that the US Army has depleted "virtually all" of its long-range missile stockpile during the five-month conflict with Iran, impacting both US military options and the supply of crucial defense systems to Ukraine.
