Trump told Hegseth he felt misled because he believed the problem “had been fixed”, according to the Washington Post newspaper , citing two unnamed sources familiar with the exchange. The president responded angrily on Thursday, accusing the media of spreading “treasonous statements” and warning that those responsible would be pursued. “The ‘leakers’ of these treasonous statements are being hunted down,” he wrote. “Long term jail sentences will be sought!” CNN separately reported that shortages of long-range guided missiles and air defence interceptors had begun to constrain Trump’s strategy in the conflict.
