Pentagon confirms 'extraordinary' weapons push

The Trump administration is exploring “extraordinary” means to expand weapons production, the War Department revealed Monday.

The War Department, President Donald Trump’s new name for the Defense Department, confirmed that major efforts are underway to expand defense capabilities as Trump prepares to deliver remarks before a rare gathering of U.S. military leaders. The Pentagon’s push involves efforts to at least double missile capacity and is aimed at boosting weapons to counter China in a future conflict, according to the Wall Street Journal.
