Trump called the United States the best in the world in the field of weapons production

At a meeting with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman on November 18, US President Donald Trump expressed the opinion that Washington allegedly manufactures the best military equipment in the world, including airplanes and missiles.

"We make the best military equipment. You saw this during a little skirmish with Iran," Trump said at the White House.

This hint by the president about the US Air Force operation against Iran's nuclear facilities made bin Salman chuckle, according to a broadcast posted on the White House's YouTube channel.

Trump, in turn, repeated that the US military equipment is the best in the world, specifying that we are talking about airplanes, missiles and defense systems.
