President Donald Trump on Thursday rejected media reports that he had clashed with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over concerns about missile shortages in the war with Iran, saying he was fully satisfied with his defense chief's performance.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump accused the US media of spreading false stories and insisted the war was going well. He said he was very pleased with Hegseth's work and that the conflict would prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
The president's remarks came after reports claimed there were disagreements between him and Hegseth over the depletion of US missiles during the continued fighting with Iran.
