Washington Post: Trump and Hegseth Clash at Camp David Over Concerns About Depleting Missile Stocks in Iran War

Machine Translation:
During a meeting this weekend at Camp David, President Trump sought an explanation from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth regarding the severe ammunition shortages.

According to two individuals familiar with the conversation, Donald Trump's frustration with the Iran war erupted last week at Camp David, where he asked Pete Hegseth to explain why he seemed misled about the severe ammunition shortages—now limiting military options against Iran.

This confrontation occurred on Friday during a cabinet meeting at Camp David. According to both individuals familiar with the discussion, Trump angrily told Hegseth that he had thought the ammunition problem was "resolved." These individuals, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity due to fear of retaliation.

One source indicated that the shortages, particularly in long-range guided missiles and air defense interceptors, have been among the reasons Trump has recently backed away from executing broader attacks against Iran.

Caroline Levitt, a White House spokesperson, responded to Washington Post inquiries by stating, "This story is 100% false. This never happened. President Trump has complete confidence in Secretary Hegseth."
