The United States and the Philippines plan to establish an ammunition manufacturing facility at Subic Bay, a former American naval base, aiming to build the world’s largest stockpile, according to President Donald Trump.

Trump announced the proposal during discussions highlighting the strategic partnership between the two nations.

Officials from both countries have not yet disclosed a timeline for the construction of the facility or the projected amount of ammunition to be produced.

The Subic Bay site, due to its geographic location, holds strategic importance for military logistics and operations.

The proposed development aligns with ongoing efforts to bolster defense capabilities and military readiness.

Defense officials consider the initiative a significant step in strengthening security collaboration between the United States and the Philippines.

The partnership seeks to address evolving regional and global security challenges by enhancing military capacity.

As of now, further details on the agreement and its implementation are pending official confirmation.
