Trump says U.S. warships are being reloaded with the “best ammunition” in case talks fail

With Vice President JD Vance en route to Islamabad for peace talks with Iran, President Trump told the New York Post on Friday morning that U.S. warships are being reloaded with “the best ammunition” to continue strikes if negotiations fail.

“We have a reset going,” the president told the outlet. “We’re loading up the ships with the best ammunition, the best weapons ever made — even better than what we did previously and we blew them apart.”

“We’re loading up the ships with the best weapons ever made, even at a higher level than we use to do a complete decimation,” he added. “And if we don’t have a deal, we will be using them, and we will be using them very effectively.”

Asked if he thinks the talks will succeed, the president responded, “We’re going to find out in about 24 hours. We’re going to know soon.”
