The White House said that while the U.S. has sufficient weapons and munitions to achieve its military objectives in Iran, President Trump still plans to push defense contractors to speed up production when he meets with them on Friday.
“The U.S. military has more than enough munitions, ammo, and weapons stockpiles to continue demolishing the Iranian regime and achieve the goals of Operation Epic Fury,” White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement, according to Bloomberg.
“Nevertheless, President Trump has always been intensely focused on strengthening our military, which is why this meeting with defense contractors was scheduled weeks ago,” Leavitt added.
Trump is set to meet with executives of several of the nation’s top defense contractors on Friday, including representatives from RTX (RTX), Lockheed Martin (LMT), Boeing (BA), Northrop Grumman (NOC), Honeywell (HON), and L3Harris Technologies (LHX), Bloomberg said.
“The President will continue to call on these U.S. companies to more speedily build American-made weapons, which are the absolute best in the world,” Leavitt added.
