US President Donald Trump strongly supported Secretary of Defense Hegseth. Earlier reports claimed that the two had a disagreement over the decline in US arms stocks, raising questions about Hegseth's stay in the Trump administration. “I am extremely satisfied with Hegseth's work,” Trump said in a social media post on Thursday. “Everything is excellent, including our attack on Venezuela,” and the same goes for Iran. “That country has been hit hard.” Prior to Trump's remarks, there were reports on Wednesday that Trump expressed his dissatisfaction with Hegseth on the sidelines of a cabinet meeting last week, claiming that he had been misled by the shortage of ammunition. Trump has denied the report and once again stated that “the number of factories being built by defense companies is the highest in our country's history.”
