- Mike Waltz, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, blamed former President Biden on Sunday for leaving the Pentagon low on munitions stockpiles
- Waltz denied the depletion is negatively impacting the war with Iran, asserting the U.S. military has "everything that it needs"
Why it matters: Waltz's claim that stockpiles are depleted yet military readiness is unaffected is a key Trump administration talking point as it defends its war footing. The contradiction between acknowledging low munitions and denying operational impact invites scrutiny from lawmakers already weighing war powers constraints.
