特朗普否认美国在与伊朗的战争中存在弹药短缺问题。[1]他声称美国拥有"大量"弹药，并表示"国防公司正在建设我国历史上最多数量的工厂"。[1]
此前，媒体报道称特朗普在国防部长赫格塞斯面前对弹药短缺表示愤怒，并威胁对泄露军事库存信息的官员追究重罪，声称"将寻求长期监禁判决"。[1]这些报道同时指出美国已耗尽80%的萨德防空拦截器库存。[1]
白宫新闻秘书卡罗琳·莱维特否认相关会议曾经发生，称Camp David会议"从未真正发生过"。[1]五角大楼发言人肖恩·帕内尔也表示，关于对抗和弹药短缺的报道"同样虚构"。[1]特朗普还声称他下令随后取消了"二战以来最大规模的攻击"。[1]
President Trump rejected reports suggesting the United States faces ammunition shortages, asserting that the country possesses "large quantities" of munitions and is ramping up production [1]. He stated that "defense companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country's history" [1].
The denial came in response to media reports claiming Trump expressed anger over ammunition depletion during a meeting with Defense Secretary Hegseth and threatened serious criminal charges against officials responsible for leaking military inventory information [1]. According to CNN, the US has "nearly exhausted 80%" of its Thaad air defense interceptor stockpile [1]. Trump warned of consequences for those involved in such disclosures, declaring "long term jail sentences will be sought!" [1].
The White House and Pentagon moved quickly to dismiss the reporting. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt characterized claims about a Camp David meeting as something that "literally never happened" [1], while Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell described reports of confrontations and ammunition shortages as "equally fictional" [1]. Trump also claimed he had ordered but subsequently cancelled "the biggest attack since World War II" [1].
