Trump opens investigation over leak of US' lack of munitions at critical phase of conflict - report

US President Donald Trump has privately expressed frustration that information about shrinking US munitions stockpiles has become public, arguing that the disclosures make the United States appear weak as he threatens further military action to pressure Iran into reaching a deal, CNN reported, citing senior US officials. Trump raised the issue during a cabinet meeting at Camp David last week, according to sources cited by the report, with the president focused on media coverage describing low US munitions stocks. "The US has massive amounts of 'munitions,' especially of certain types." "Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the US as needed." "He has never blamed Pete. This is all about the leakers." (one official to CNN) "extremely happy with the job that Pete Hegseth is doing." (Trump) the US had "used up much of its stockpile of highly accurate long-range missiles" and "virtually all" of ATACMS/PrSM, which cost "more than $1 million each". Trump reportedly directed the Justice Department to identify the administration insiders who leaked, describing them as "treasonous" and threatening "long-term jail sentences." White House officials said Trump's anger was not directed at Hegseth.
