> The Pentagon is urging the United States to accelerate weapons production as concerns grow over military stockpiles. The US defence industry is being pressed to increase output, particularly of munitions. Shortages are raising security concerns while tensions persist in the Middle East. The push reflects unease over whether existing supplies are sufficient for those security demands.
