YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWatch LIVE as US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivers a stern warning to Beijing during his visit to the Philippines, his first stop in Asia. Hegseth reaffirmed America's "ironclad commitment" to the US-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty, announcing the deployment of NMESIS anti-ship missile systems and unmanned surface vehicles to strengthen deterrence against China. The visit comes as US, Japanese, and Philippine warships conduct joint drills near the disputed Scarborough Shoal, with a Chinese frigate keeping watch. Hegseth emphasized that "peace through strength is a very real thing" while pledging bilateral special forces training in the strategic Batanes Islands near Taiwan. China responded by warning the Philippines not to become a "pawn" and urged the US to stop "sowing discord" in the region.
