Trump posted that the US is producing more 'exquisite and elite weapons' than at any time in its history, with Patriots, THAAD, Tomahawks and Standard Missiles a primary focus, delivered 'on a daily basis' to US forces in the Middle East, and that defence factories are running 24/7.
Why it matters
The statement signals Washington is sustaining, not drawing down, its regional missile-defense and strike-weapon pipeline months into the Iran conflict, a resourcing posture that bears on how long the US can keep backing Gulf and Israeli air-defense needs amid the ongoing Hormuz shipping standoff.

Correction
- Corrected the headline (it read "Trump says US producing 'elite weapons' at record pace, shipping daily to Mideast forces"); revised the summary; corrected the location from Washington, D.C. / Middle East to Washington, D.C., United States; reclassified it from us-military-posture to military-posture; updated the sourcing note; merged a duplicate entry into this one ("Trump touts stepped-up delivery of Patriots, THAAD and Tomahawks to Middle East forces").
