Trump to meet defence contractors to speed up weapons deliveries US President Donald Trump is set to meet executives from major defence contractors on Friday as the administration pushes to accelerate the delivery of American-made weapons amid the Israeli-US war on Iran. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the US military still has “more than enough munitions, ammo, and weapons stockpiles” to continue its operations in the Middle East. “Nevertheless, President Trump has always been intensely focused on strengthening our military, which is why this meeting with defence contractors was scheduled weeks ago,” she said.
