Trump Invokes Defense Production Act for Munitions, Supply Chains
President Donald Trump has invoked the Defense Production Act to address constraints in weapons supply and development for munitions production and supply chains, according to a memo made public on Tuesday.
“I hereby find that conditions exist which may pose a direct threat to the national defense or its preparedness programs,” Trump said in a June 11 memorandum to the Pentagon chief.
He cited “limited production capacity, fragile supply chains, long-lead dependencies, and related production bottlenecks.”
