President Donald Trump met Friday afternoon with CEOs of major defense industry companies at the White House as the war against Iran ended its first full week.
Trump said the meeting included CEOs of BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, RTX Corporation, Boeing, Honeywell Aerospace and L3Harris Technologies Missile Solutions.
After the meeting, Trump said in a social media post that we discussed Production and Production Schedules and they have agreed to quadruple Production of the Exquisite Class Weaponry in that we want to reach, as rapidly as possible, the highest levels of quantity.
The White House has been on the defensive after news reports detailing concerns about low supply of both munitions and anti-missile defenses if the Iran war drags on.

(22,700 posts)why is the most powerful country in the world lack arsenal, weapons, et al?
Is it because this greedy administration made profit off of selling to other countries?
Is it because they used taxpayer's money which was allocated the US military to fund ICE, concentration camps, deportations and luxury jets?
