Donald Trump says U.S. has ample ammunition but would welcome "some of the more sophisticated stuff"
“some of the more sophisticated stuff”
Reported September 5, 2026 by middleeasteye.net. Checked word for word against that report.
An investigation into leaked details about U.S. weapons stockpiles has led the Pentagon to give lie-detector tests to about 50 members of the Joint Staff, The New York Times reported late Friday. Earlier reporting in July said the U.S. had limited the distribution of certain ammunition, especially missile interceptors, over supply concerns after months of fighting with Iran. Administration officials strongly rejected those claims. President Donald Trump responded that the country had plentiful ammunition in many forms, while acknowledging that the military would welcome additional quantities of certain advanced weaponry. The polygraph exams are part of an official inquiry into who disclosed sensitive information about the availability of military supplies.
