During an election speech, Trump highlighted what he described as a significant risk to the country's defense capabilities due to the current shortage of ammunition.

“We have no ammunition left,” Trump stated, pointing to the extensive use of U.S. missiles and the depletion of stockpiles. He recalled a time when the U.S. had so many missiles that it struggled with storage, but now, he claimed, the situation has reversed, leaving the country with insufficient supplies.

Notably, Trump’s remarks focused on arms shipments to Ukraine while omitting any reference to U.S. military aid to Israel, a detail that drew attention to his selective critique.

Trump warned that the shortage could leave the U.S. vulnerable, urging immediate attention to the nation’s defense resources. His comments have sparked debate on the balance between supporting allies and maintaining national security. (ILKHA)
