The Trump administration is set to meet with top U.S. defense contractors to discuss accelerating weapons production. This comes as the Pentagon is working on a supplemental budget request of around $50 billion for replacing weapons used in recent conflicts. The meeting reflects the urgency in Washington to bolster weapons stocks after strikes on Iran and other military efforts. The Pentagon is expected to release a list of underperforming contractors within 15 days, with companies having to submit board-approved plans to correct the situation.
