YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPete Hegseth pledged to deploy additional advanced capabilities to the Philippines amid threats from China as the Pentagon chief faces calls at home to resign for sharing attack plans with other US officials over the Signal app.
Hegseth told reporters Friday the US plans to send an anti-ship missile system and “highly capable” unmanned surface vehicles to the Southeast Asian country to be used during flagship military drills next month. The two nations also plan to launch a bilateral cyber campaign and conduct special operation forces training on islands located near Taiwan.
“It reflects the strength, as I said, of our ironclad alliance particularly in the face of communist China’s aggression in the region,” he said during a joint briefing with his Philippine counterpart in Manila. “We will establish the deterrence necessary to prevent war,” he later added.
The Pentagon chief met President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. earlier in the day as part of his first trip to Asia as defense secretary that will include a visit to Japan. He also made stops in Hawaii and Guam.
