President Trump is meeting with the CEOs of major defense companies at the White House on Friday in a meeting the administration says was scheduled weeks ago.

The White House says the U.S. has “more than enough” weapons at its disposal for the ongoing war, something the Pentagon has been saying all week as well.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said in a statement. “President Trump has always been intensely focused on strengthening our military, which is why this meeting with defense contractors was scheduled weeks ago. The president will continue to call on these U.S. companies to more speedily build American-made weapons, which are the absolute best in the world.”

The defense companies meeting with the president include:

Lockheed Martin
Northrop Grumman
RTX Corporation
Boeing
Honeywell
L3Harris Technologies
