The US is prepared for war with China if necessary, Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth stated amid escalating trade tensions.
His remarks follow Beijing’s threat of tariff retaliation after President Trump doubled tariffs on Chinese imports.
China responded with new levies and restrictions on US firms. Meanwhile, Hegseth emphasized US military readiness as key to deterrence, saying strength prevents conflict.
