Trump Vows Crackdown on Leakers Amid US Munitions Shortages

President Donald Trump vowed to hunt down leakers after reports revealed the US military has depleted nearly 80 percent of its THAAD interceptors and half of its Patriot missiles.

A July 27 analysis by the Center for Strategic and International Studies confirmed the military holds only about one-third of its pre-war Patriot interceptor stockpile.

Trump defended Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth against reports of internal friction, claiming the US is manufacturing sufficient munitions despite experts warning replenishment will take at least three years.
