Truthsocial @realDonaldTrump
Donald Trump posted on Truth Social on Thursday, saying he is "very happy" with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's performance. Reports indicate the US has used almost all its precision-guided rockets, with replacements taking years to produce. Trump called the reports "treasonous" and claimed defence contractors are building many new factories.
