"What is the president's plan for rebuilding this gap now in weaponry – so we can help our allies, so we can protect ourselves?" Bream asked, citing a recent report published by Defense News claiming the U.S. will run out of critical munitions only eight days into a high intensity conflict with China over Taiwan. "We have discovered over the past two years, since the start of the war in Ukraine, since Biden came into office, that the cupboards were not as full as they should have been based on underinvestment over the course of the past 20 years, and we have been working since day one of this administration to build up the defense industrial base, to increase the production of critical munition systems," Sullivan said. "And three years into the Biden administration, we are producing significantly more than the day we walked into office."
