00:00U.S. President Donald Trump has denied reports that the United States is running low on munitions,
00:06saying the country has massive amounts of weapons.
00:09Trump made the comments after The Washington Post reported he clashed
00:13with Secretary of War Pete Heksef over shortages of key missiles and air defense systems.
00:21The newspaper said concerns over dwindling stockpiles were among the reasons
00:25Trump recently called off planned strikes against Iran.
00:28The president dismissed the claims, warning off consequences for those spreading what he described
00:34as false reports about U.S. munition supplies.
00:38It was recently reported that the Pentagon had sought $67 billion in emergency funding,
00:44which includes over $18 billion to replenish some of the U.S.'s most advanced missiles.
00:50Meanwhile, a report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies
00:54also said the U.S. has used more than 60 percent of its key missile inventories,
01:00underscoring concerns about U.S. stockpiles.
