Trump Prepares For War With China?

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made a bold statement on Wednesday morning, declaring that the United States is fully “prepared” to engage in conflict with China if necessary. His remarks came in the wake of China’s aggressive threats following President Trump’s announcement of new tariffs on Chinese goods.

“We’re prepared,” Hegseth told Fox News’ “Fox & Friends” when asked about China’s recent warnings. The Chinese government had said it was “ready to fight” any form of conflict, whether it be trade-related or military in nature. Hegseth emphasized that strength is crucial in today’s world. “Those who seek peace must be prepared for war,” he said, underscoring the importance of military readiness.

The Defense Secretary also highlighted the ongoing efforts to strengthen the U.S. military, stating, “That’s why we’re rebuilding our military. That’s why we’re re-establishing deterrence in the warrior ethos.” In a world filled with rising global powers that do not share American values, Hegseth argued, it is vital that the U.S. maintains a position of strength. He specifically pointed to China’s rapid increase in defense spending and its ambitions to surpass the U.S. in global influence.

“China is modernizing its military, investing in cutting-edge technology, and seeking to challenge American dominance,” Hegseth continued. “If we want to deter conflict with China, we must remain strong and vigilant.”

The Defense Secretary’s warning followed China’s retaliatory actions after President Trump’s tariffs on Chinese imports were increased from 10% to 20%. In response, Beijing announced its own tariffs on American agricultural products and imposed restrictions on U.S. businesses.

Despite the tensions, Hegseth reiterated that President Trump maintains a positive relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping. “Our goal is still peace and historic opportunities,” he said. “But my job is to ensure we’re ready for anything.”

Hegseth’s comments reaffirmed the Trump administration’s commitment to defending American interests and preserving the strength of the U.S. military, especially in the increasingly contested Indo-Pacific region.
