Trump, Hegseth clashed at Camp David as US President felt 'misled' about weapons shortage - report
The White House issued a statement from Trump, saying the US had “far more munitions than anyone in the world" and "far more than we need," Reuters reported.
President Donald Trump confronted Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth at Camp David after learning of a severe weapons shortage, which threatened the US military's options in Iran, according to a source cited by the Washington Post. The President felt misled about the issue and expressed his concerns, the report added. This shortage may have influenced Trump's decision not to launch a major attack on Iran, the source claimed.
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dismissed the report as false in a post to X/Twitter, stating that she and Secretary Hegseth were at Camp David and that the story was fabricated to disparage the Secretary.
