President Trump shared a statement on Monday night assuring the U.S. is fully equipped to proceed with military action against Iran. In a Truth Social post, the president criticized the Biden administration for giving away munitions, but expressed his confidence in the status of U.S. weapons stockpiles and stated his commitment to continue strengthening military resources.
“The United States Munitions Stockpiles have, at the medium and upper medium grade, never been higher or better – as was stated to me today, we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons,” President Trump said. “Wars can be fought “forever,” and very successfully, using just these supplies (which are better than other countries finest arms!).”
President Trump noted that while medium-grade weapons are well-supplied, the U.S. needs to enhance its supply of high-grade weaponry. He also criticized the Biden administration for turning over a portion of the high-grade weapons supplies to other countries, specifically President Zelensky in Ukraine’s ongoing war with Russia. The U.S. has provided Ukraine with billions of dollars in aid, including $500 million from the Biden administration shortly before President Trump’s second term began.
“At the highest end, we have a good supply, but are not where we want to be. Much additional high grade weaponry is stored for us in outlying countries,” President Trump said. “Sleepy Joe Biden spent all of his time, and our Country’s money, GIVING everything to P.T. Barnum (Zelensky!) of Ukraine – Hundreds of Billions of Dollars worth – And, while he gave so much of the super high end away (FREE!), he didn’t bother to replace it. Fortunately, I rebuilt the military in my first term, and continue to do so. The United States is stocked, and ready to WIN, BIG!!!”
