> US President Donald Trump called the Pentagon’s official report on ammunition shortages “mostly fake news.” Released in September, the inspector general’s report said Washington spent $33.4 billion on Operation Epic Fury between February 28 and June 29, including an estimated $22.3 billion on ammunition, resulting in strategic inventory shortfalls and munitions resupply bottlenecks.
