Summary
White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said in response to a request from the Washington Post about the reported confrontation between Trump and Hegseth: “This is 100 percent fake news.” President Trump has “extreme confidence” in Minister Hegseth. The think tank Center For Strategic International Studies (CSIS) in Washington estimated at the end of July that the US still had up to almost 830 Patriot anti-missiles at its disposal. Possible bottlenecks could narrow the US room for manoeuvre in the war with Iran, in which Trump, according to the newspaper, had assumed a quick and relatively easy victory.
Furthermore, The CNN report, which Hegseth rejected, recently stated that the U.S. military has depleted nearly four-fifths of its THAAD missile stockpile compared to the pre-war stockpile since the start of the war, using about half of its Patriot interceptors.
