Trump dismisses weapons shortage, then announces $24.4 billion missile deal
Original: "We have lots of weapons...it's fake news," - Trump TWO DAYS LATER.... The Trump regime announces $24.4 billion contract
Days after Donald Trump dismissed reports of a weapons shortage as fake news, the administration announced a $24.4 billion contract to accelerate missile production. Industry experts say US stockpiles are dangerously low, and critics point to the gap between the president's denial and the scale of the new arms spending.
Why now: The contradiction between Trump's denial and the multibillion-dollar missile contract days later is drawing attention.
