U.S. President Donald Trump announced on the 6th (local time) that American defense companies "have agreed to quadruple production of 'Exquisite Class' weapons, which we want to reach maximum production as quickly as possible."

President Trump wrote on his social media platform, Truth Social, "I just finished a very good meeting with America's largest defense companies to discuss production and production schedules."

President Trump stated that the CEOs of BAE Systems, Boeing, Honeywell Aerospace, L3Harris Missile Solutions, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Raytheon attended the meeting.

Caroline Levitt, a spokesperson, had previously stated that in addition to President Trump, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegses was also scheduled to attend the meeting.

President Trump's announcement of an agreement to increase weapons production at a meeting with defense companies is interpreted as an attempt to refute reports from American media that U.S. ammunition stockpiles are running low, as the large-scale military operation against Iran, "Epic Fury," continues for the first week. It also aims to allay these concerns.

President Trump said, "Production increases began three months ago (today's meeting), and the factories for many weapons are already operating and producing," adding, "We are receiving virtually unlimited supplies of intermediate and upper-intermediate ammunition, and for example, we are using it in Iran and recently used it in Venezuela."

President Trump also said that the meeting concluded with "a follow-up meeting scheduled in two months," and that "states across the country are bidding for these new factories."
