A global news agency has reported that the United States military is facing a shortage of weapons stockpiles, raising questions just a day after President Donald Trump claimed the country possesses unlimited arms reserves.

According to the report, the US administration is now reviewing its defense production capacity amid growing military demands. President Trump is expected to meet executives of major American defense companies to discuss accelerating weapons manufacturing.

Sources indicate that the talks may focus on increasing output speed and strengthening supply chains to replenish depleted inventories. The development highlights mounting pressure on the defense sector at a time of heightened global tensions.

Meanwhile, the US Deputy Defense Secretary is reportedly preparing an additional $50 billion defense budget proposal aimed at boosting military readiness and expanding weapons production.

Defense giant Raytheon Technologies is said to be planning a significant rise in production of Tomahawk cruise missiles, targeting an output of up to 1,000 missiles annually. The Tomahawk missile system has long been considered a key component of US naval strike capability.

The report also states that defense companies are facing increasing pressure from policymakers to prioritize production expansion over shareholder profits. Officials want firms to reinvest earnings into scaling up manufacturing rather than focusing primarily on dividends.

The revelations come at a sensitive time for Washington, as military preparedness and supply capacity remain under close scrutiny.
