The White House will summon weapon manufacturers for a meeting and push to increase ammunition production amid inventory pressures.

The White House will convene defense contractors this week to push for increased ammunition production; stocks are under pressure after nearly four months of war with Iran. President Donald Trump confirmed the meeting. A White House official had previously stated that the meeting would take place on Wednesday. "We are indeed pushing hard for weapon production, some automakers, if they have excess capacity, are reaching agreements to produce missiles, especially Patriots," Trump told reporters at the White House on Monday, "We already have a lot, but we want to ensure that we always have a large stockpile." A source familiar with the matter revealed that RTX Corp. is expected to participate in the discussions.
