US President Donald Trump has said that the USA has “massive amounts” of munitions amid reports of dwindling defence supplies as the war with Iran continues.

In a post on Truth Social, the president said, “The US has massive amounts of ‘munitions,’ especially of certain types. Additionally, large amounts are being manufactured and shipped to the US as needed. Defence companies are building the largest number of plants and factories in our country’s history.”

He warned that the “leakers” of “treasonous statements” will be “hunted down”.

“Long-term jail sentences will be sought,” he added.
