President Donald Trump is planning to meet this week with top defense industry executives at the White House as his administration moves to accelerate weapons production and replenish U.S. munitions stockpiles strained by recent military operations against Iran, according to CBS News.

The meeting comes as the White House pushes to expand production of missiles and other advanced weapons systems amid growing concerns inside the Pentagon and Congress about how quickly the U.S. can replace weapons expended during the Iran conflict, CBS reported.

CBS News reported that executives from major defense contractors, including Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and RTX, are expected to take part in discussions focused on increasing manufacturing capacity, reducing bottlenecks, and speeding delivery of key munitions.

The discussions follow months of U.S. military operations targeting Iranian-linked forces and assets that required significant use of precision-guided munitions and air-defense interceptors, highlighting long-standing concerns about the resilience of America’s defense industrial base.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump has summoned defense officials and industry leaders to address worries over depleted missile inventories following the Iran campaign and to press for faster production of systems including Patriot interceptors and Tomahawk cruise missiles.

Earlier this month, President Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to address manufacturing constraints and supply-chain bottlenecks affecting munitions and other critical defense components, according to Reuters.

The administration has argued that strengthening domestic production capacity is essential not only to replace weapons used in recent operations, but also to ensure the U.S. can sustain prolonged military engagements against adversaries including Iran, China, and Russia.

Concerns over U.S. stockpiles have circulated for months across defense circles and on Capitol Hill, with analysts and lawmakers pointing to the pace of weapons consumption during the Iran operation as a key stress test for American readiness.

The Associated Press reported in an analysis aired through PBS NewsHour that replenishing inventories of certain advanced weapons systems used heavily in recent conflicts could take years, depending on production capacity and supply-chain constraints.

At the same time, some defense officials have pushed back on suggestions of a crisis-level shortage.

War Secretary Pete Hegseth has said publicly that reports of critically depleted stockpiles have been overstated, arguing that the U.S. military retains the capability to meet its global commitments and deter adversaries.

Still, defense planners acknowledge that recent operations have underscored structural limits in industrial output, particularly for high-end munitions that require complex supply chains and long production timelines.

The White House has framed the effort as part of a broader push to rebuild and modernize the U.S. defense industrial base, ensuring that production capacity can match demand in the event of a major conflict while maintaining sustained readiness across multiple theaters.
