US Ready For War With China, Says Pentagon Chief Amid Escalating Trade And Tariff Tensions
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.
President Trump has ordered a major Pentagon overhaul after years of financial mismanagement and failed audits. White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt stated that public trust in the military is low, prompting drastic changes. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) will lead cost-cutting efforts, aiming to eliminate waste and restore accountability.

Germany won’t send troops to Ukraine without U.S involvement, AFP reports, citing a government source. The decision follows US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s refusal to deploy American troops as part of security guarantees to Kiev. Meanwhile, Poland has also dismissed the idea of sending its soldiers. UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, however, signaled willingness to contribute troops post-ceasefire. Moscow warns that any unauthorized foreign military presence will be treated as a “legitimate target,” while US-Russia talks on Ukraine continue in Riyadh.

The US Army has implemented an immediate ban on transgender recruits and halted all gender transition-related procedures for service members. This follows President Donald Trump’s executive order mandating adherence to biological Sex in the military. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has also eliminated DEI programs, emphasizing unity over diversity. The move reverses Biden’s 2021 repeal of Trump’s earlier ban. Advocacy groups estimate 15,000 transgender individuals serve in the military, though official reports suggest the number is much lower. Trump has also ended federal support for gender transition procedures for minors

Kash Patel, President Donald Trump’s nominee for FBI Director, greeted his Indian Hindu parents with “Jai Shri Krishna” during his confirmation hearing. A former Department of Defense Chief of Staff and fervent Trump supporter, Patel faces tough questioning from Senate Democrats over his past criticisms of the FBI and his loyalty to the President. Critics argue Patel’s qualifications and his approach to FBI authority could lead to partisan retribution. As FBI Director, Patel would oversee 37,000 employees and multiple international offices.
