Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao said Thursday the U.S. is pausing a $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan because of the Trump administration’s war with Iran.

Speaking during a Senate Appropriations Defense Subcommittee hearing, Cao insisted the U.S. still had “plenty” of missiles and interceptors, even as scrutiny grows over America’s dwindling munitions stockpiles.

“Right now we’re doing a pause in order to make sure we have the munitions we need for Epic Fury — which we have plenty."

Lol. If this guy ain't sweating he's got a condition
