• Pentagon officials warn that certain advanced weapons systems and interceptors are being used at a pace that requires faster replenishment.
• Trump met with major defense industry leaders to discuss expanding manufacturing capacity and accelerating delivery timelines.
• The administration’s goal is to ensure the U.S. military can sustain the campaign against Iran while maintaining readiness for other global threats.
