Trump Announces Defense Contractors to Quadruple Production of Advanced Weapons

President Trump announced that six major defense contractors — including Lockheed Martin, RTX, Boeing, Northrop Grumman, BAE Systems, and L3Harris — have agreed to quadruple production of advanced Exquisite Class weaponry following a White House meeting. The announcement came during the first week of U.S. military strikes against Iran amid concerns about munitions stockpiles, though it remains unclear whether new commitments were made beyond previously established Pentagon multiyear deals. Trump claimed the U.S. maintains a virtually unlimited supply of medium and upper-medium grade munitions. A follow-up meeting with defense CEOs is scheduled for two months later.
