唐纳德·特朗普总统援引《国防生产法案》，迫使国防企业制造更多武器，此前与伊朗的战争已耗尽美国军火储备。
在上周签署的一份文件中，特朗普总统表示，他认定“存在可能对国防或其战备计划构成直接威胁的状况”。
这份递交国防部长皮特·赫格斯瑟的文件称：“具体而言，弹药工业基地存在系统性制约，包括有限的生产能力、脆弱的供应链、长期交付依赖以及相关生产瓶颈，这可能削弱美国生产、维持并扩大国防所需弹药、导弹和装备的能力。”
这是总统强制私营企业提高产量的一项重大举措，表明特朗普政府对伊战以及美国向以色列和乌克兰提供武器的加沙、乌克兰冲突后五角大楼的武器储备状况深感担忧。
五角大楼长期以来一直担忧国防工业快速生产武器的能力。专家和官员告诉CNN，美国与伊朗的战争加剧了这些担忧，美军在此次战争中消耗了大量关键导弹储备。
周三，特朗普在法国举行的G7峰会上发言称，战争的最后两天“极其惨烈”，并“使用了价值2亿美元的炸弹”。
“顺便说一句，除了其他代价之外，这场战争也代价高昂，”特朗普说道。
战争期间，赫格斯瑟和其他五角大楼官员公开坚称，美国拥有应对这场战争以及全球其他冲突所需的一切资源。
上周三——也就是特朗普签署援引《国防生产法案》的命令三天后——赫格斯瑟在CBS新闻《面对全国》节目中接受玛格丽特·布伦南采访时表示，美国武器库存并未出现危机，相关问题是“媒体想要兜售的人为制造的新闻”。
但私下里，弹药储备水平一直是五角大楼的重大担忧。战略与国际研究中心近期的分析发现，美国至少消耗了45%的精确打击导弹库存，爱国者防空拦截导弹和萨德导弹的储备也消耗了约一半。
五角大楼拒绝就该命令置评，将相关问题转交给白宫回应。
美国联邦紧急事务管理局表示，《国防生产法案》是一项始于1950年代的法律，是“总统加快和扩大美国工业基地资源供应以支持军事、能源、航天和国土安全项目的主要权力来源”。该法案允许总统要求企业优先履行对美国国防至关重要的交付合同；为工业基地生产关键材料提供激励措施；并广泛赋予政府与私营企业达成协议的更多权力。
该法案此前已多次被用于各类事务。特朗普在第一任期的新冠疫情期间曾援引该法案生产呼吸机等物资，并在第二任期初期援引该法案推动美国国内矿产生产。前总统乔·拜登也曾援引《国防生产法案》加快清洁能源技术的国内生产。
特朗普6月11日签署的命令要求赫格斯瑟“制定自愿协议和行动计划，助力国防建设”。特朗普援引的该法案条款之一要求成立一个咨询委员会。
CNN此前报道称，在对伊战争开始前，参谋长联席会议主席丹·凯恩将军曾警告称，针对伊朗的长期军事行动可能影响美国的武器储备。
“高额的弹药支出造成了西太平洋地区脆弱性上升的窗口期，”退休美国海军陆战队上校、近期CSIS报告的作者之一马克·坎西安此前告诉CNN，“ replenish these inventories will take one to four years，之后还需要数年时间才能将库存扩充至所需水平。”
特朗普此前也曾聚焦国防工业基地：今年1月，他曾威胁企业，除非它们改进武器系统交付速度，否则将寻求限制其股票回购和高管薪酬。
Trump invokes law to increase weapons production after Iran war depleted US stocks

- President Donald Trump invoked the Defense Production Act to compel defense companies to increase weapons production.
- The war with Iran depleted significant portions of key US missile stockpiles, according to experts and officials.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth publicly said there was not a crisis while analysis shows the US expended roughly half of critical missile inventories.

President Donald Trump has invoked the Defense Production Act to force defense companies to manufacture more weapons after the war with Iran depleted stockpiles
In a document signed last week, the president says that he finds “that conditions exist which may pose a direct threat to the national defense or its preparedness programs.”
“In particular, systemic constraints in the munitions industrial base, including limited production capacity, fragile supply chains, long-lead dependencies, and related production bottlenecks, may impair the ability of the United States to produce, sustain, and expand the availability of munitions, missiles, and equipment required for the national defense,” the document, sent to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, says.
It’s a significant move for the president to compel private companies to increase production and suggests a substantial level of concern in the Trump administration about the Pentagon’s weapons stockpiles following the war with Iran as well as the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine which saw the US contribute weapons to Israel and Ukraine.
The Pentagon has long had concerns about the defense industry’s ability to produce weapons quickly enough. Those concerns were only exacerbated by the US’ war with Iran, in which the US used up significant portions of key missile stockpiles, experts and officials have told CNN.
On Wednesday, Trump said that the last two days of the war were “brutal” and that “$200 million worth of bombs” were used.
“It is expensive too, by the way, aside from everything else,” Trump said, speaking from the G7 summit in France.
As the war unfolded, Hegseth and other Pentagon officials publicly maintained that the US had what it needed to fight the war and other conflicts around the world.
On Sunday — three days after Trump’s order invoking the Defense Production Act was signed — Hegseth told CBS News’ Margaret Brennan on Face the Nation that there was not a crisis with US weapons stockpiles and that the issue is “a manufactured story that the media wants to peddle.”
But privately, munition levels have been a significant concern for the Pentagon. Recent analysis by the Center for Strategic and International Studies found that the US expended at least 45% of its Precision Strike Missile stockpile, and roughly half of its stockpiles of Patriot air defense interceptor missiles and THAAD missiles.
The Pentagon declined to comment on the order and referred questions to the White House.
The Defense Production Act is a 1950s-era law that is the “primary source of presidential authorities to expedite and expand the supply of resources from the US industrial base to support military, energy, space and homeland security programs,” the Federal Emergency Management Agency says. The act allows the president to require companies to prioritize contracts for deliveries deemed vital to US national defense; create incentives for the industrial base to produce critical materials; and broadly gives the government more authority to make agreements with private companies.
The Act has been used numerous times before for various efforts. Trump previously invoked it during the Covid-19 pandemic in his first term to produce things like ventilators, and at the start of his second term to advance domestic mineral production in the US. Former President Joe Biden also invoked the DPA to accelerate domestic production of clean energy technologies.
Trump’s order on June 11 tells Hegseth to “provide for the making of voluntary agreements and plans of action to help provide for the national defense.” One of the sections of the Act cited by Trump calls for the establishment of an advisory committee.
CNN has reported that before the war with Iran began, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine warned that a prolonged military campaign against Iran could impact US weapons stockpiles.
“The high munitions expenditures have created a window of increased vulnerability in the western Pacific,” Mark Cancian, a retired US Marine Corps Colonel and one of the authors of the recent CSIS report, previously told CNN. “It will take one to four years to replenish these inventories and several years after that to expand them to where they need to be.”
Trump has zeroed in on the defense industrial base before; in January, he issued a threat to companies saying he would seek to limit their stock buybacks and executive salaries unless they improved their weapon systems delivery.
