Trump says defense CEOs agree to quadruple production of 'Exquisite Class' weaponry [View all]

President Donald Trump met Friday afternoon with CEOs of major defense industry companies at the White House as the war against Iran ended its first full week.

Trump said the meeting included CEOs of BAE Systems, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, RTX Corporation, Boeing, Honeywell Aerospace and L3Harris Technologies Missile Solutions.

After the meeting, Trump said in a social media post that “we discussed Production and Production Schedules” and “they have agreed to quadruple Production of the ‘Exquisite Class’ Weaponry in that we want to reach, as rapidly as possible, the highest levels of quantity.”

The White House has been on the defensive after news reports detailing concerns about low supply of both munitions and anti-missile defenses if the Iran war drags on.
