US Ready for War with China over Tariff Threats, Pete Hegseth Claims
US Defense Secretary Prepares for Possible War with China Amid Trade Tensions
Following President Trump’s implementation of new tariffs on Chinese imports, tensions between the US and China have escalated to alarming levels. In response to China’s threats of being “ready to fight” any kind of war, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has declared that the US is fully prepared for any potential conflict.
In an interview on Fox News’ “Fox & Friends”, Hegseth emphasized the importance of being strong in order to maintain peace. He highlighted the need for the US to rebuild its military and re-establish deterrence in order to face powerful countries with differing ideologies.
As China continues to increase its defense spending and invest in modern technology, Hegseth stressed the need for the US to remain strong in order to deter any potential conflicts. He warned that China and other countries are seeking to supplant the United States and that being prepared for war is crucial in preventing it.
The defense secretary’s declaration comes after China’s response to Trump’s increased tariffs on Chinese imports. China has warned of retaliatory measures if the US continues to escalate the trade war.
As tensions between the two economic powerhouses continue to rise, the possibility of a military conflict looms. The US remains steadfast in its stance and is prepared to defend its interests in the face of increasing hostilities.
