What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Reports contradict claims made by Donald Trump regarding U.S. munitions stockpiles, stating that inventories are diminishing across the U.S. military, NATO, and the Middle East. Officials confirmed that replenishing Tomahawk cruise missiles and Patriot and THAAD missile interceptors will take years. The U.S. military is experiencing a “beyond critical” shortage of advanced missile interceptors in Europe, partly due to Donald Trump’s war with Iran.
