President Donald Trump said on Thursday the United States has a vast supply of munitions and threatened those who suggested otherwise with jail terms as his frustration with the Iran war boiled over.
The Republican leader lashed out on his Truth Social platform at media reports about the dwindling weapons stockpile, saying that the United States has "massive amounts of 'munitions' especially of certain types," without giving further details.
"Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the US as needed.
Defence companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country's history," he said.
