President Donald Trump confronted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over concerns that he was not given an accurate picture of the condition of U.S. munitions stockpiles, according to multiple reports. The disagreement reportedly centered on whether the Pentagon had fully communicated the extent of weapons shortages following recent military operations and increased demand for U.S. arms.

The dispute prompted Pentagon officials to hold a crisis meeting to review ammunition levels, production capacity and supply chain challenges. The U.S. military has faced pressure to maintain sufficient reserves while supporting allies and conducting operations that require significant quantities of missiles, artillery rounds and other equipment.
