WASHINGTON, August 7. /TASS/. US President Donald Trump admitted that the army needs to replenish its weapons stockpiles.

"We need more all the time," the US leader told reporters at the White House, commenting on the rationale behind the US administration’s request to Congress for $87.6 billion in additional funding, of which $21 billion is needed by the Pentagon to purchase ammunition and strengthen the country’s industrial base. "We have certain types of munitions that are very powerful. We have [an] unlimited, virtually unlimited supply. We have others where it's a little bit tighter, and we're getting them in on a daily basis," Trump noted.

"We're in very good shape. We have literally massive amounts of ammunition," he said. "But with that being said, we always want more. We have to have more," the US leader emphasized.
