Leaks about depletion of US ammunition stocks anger Trump — TV channel

TASS (Russian state media) · back to the audit

US President Donald Trump was angered when he learned of media reports on the depletion of US ammunition stocks, CNN reported. Trump believes such press reports "create the impression of Washington's weakness at a time when he is threatening Iran with new strikes." His anger came from the fact that "the leak occurred at what he considers a pivotal moment in the conflict with Tehran." The Washington Post reported that Trump thinks "Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth misled him about depleted weapons stockpiles during the war with Iran." Trump "later said the leakers are being sought and could face prison terms," and denied the Post's report about his dissatisfaction with Hegseth. A related on-page TASS item headlined "Key US missile stockpiles run 'extremely low' amid Iran conflict — TV" cites concern over "dwindling inventories of long-range offensive missiles, including ATACMS and PrSM."
