Trump comments on US military readiness and losses in Iran conflict

President Trump has commented on the state of the US military and the ongoing conflict with Iran. He stated he had rebuilt the military during his first term and is now using it more than he would like, while also acknowledging that US forces could suffer further losses. He mentioned both the depletion of US weapons stockpiles and that the country still has a huge quantity of ammunition.

Trump received the remains of the first US service members killed in the Iran war. A meeting also took place between his administration and US defense companies to discuss increasing weapons production. Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev accused Trump of leading the world toward a world war.
