US Poised for War with China: Isolation, Recklessness, and the Risk of Global Conflict
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared the US is prepared for war with China, citing the need for strength to ensure peace amidst escalating trade tensions. This statement follows China’s threat of retaliation for new US tariffs imposed in response to the fentanyl crisis. Hegseth emphasized the importance of military rebuilding and a strong defense posture in the Indo-Pacific region. Despite a purportedly positive relationship between Presidents Trump and Xi, both nations continue to engage in aggressive trade practices and military actions.
