The Pentagon leadership intends to hold an urgent meeting on the problem of shortages and supplies of ammunition after the situation in the department's arsenals was criticized by US President Donald Trump. This was reported on August 6 by NBC News, citing four sources.

It is noted that the American leader was unhappy and personally called the deputy head of the Pentagon, Steven Feinberg, responsible for supply, asking him to sort out the situation.

"[Feinberg] urgently gathered senior military and defense procurement officials for a meeting on Friday evening to discuss ways to quickly respond to the shortage of American ammunition, after he received an angry call from President Donald Trump," the article says.

Despite Trump's furious statements, Tehran retains the ability to control the Strait of Hormuz.

The Washington Post reported on August 5 that Trump had an altercation with Pentagon Chief Pete Hegseth at a cabinet meeting at Camp David, demanding to explain the reasons for the acute shortage of ammunition.

After that, the American leader issued a warning on the Truth Social network that those spreading rumors and misinformation about the lack of weapons in Washington face criminal liability. Trump denied American media reports about the Pentagon's arms shortage, adding that American defense companies are now building a record number of factories in the country's history.
