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.
In a bold rebuke of NATO dynamics, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has called out European allies for falling short on defense spending. Labeling them “junior partners,” Rubio pushed for a drastic hike—up to 5% of GDP—to maintain NATO’s credibility. At his first NATO foreign ministers meeting, he reassured US commitment but demanded others pull their weight. Echoing this, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth warned Europe that US protection is no longer guaranteed unless NATO nations step up. The upcoming June summit will directly address these simmering tensions.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s Chief of Staff, Joe Kasper, is stepping down amid a deepening leak scandal tied to unauthorized Signal chats about U.S. strikes on Yemen. His resignation follows the ousting of three top Pentagon advisors, reportedly over clashes with Kasper. The White House is standing by Hegseth, though pressure mounts after claims a journalist was accidentally included in sensitive Signal discussions. Critics have described “a month of total chaos” at the Pentagon as investigations and accusations of character attacks continue to rock the defense leadership.

Colonel Sheyla Baez Ramirez has been suspended from command at Fort McCoy after the base failed to display official portraits of President Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The glaring omission sparked backlash when empty frames were spotted on the command wall. Defense officials launched an immediate investigation, and the Department of Defense later updated the wall, saying “we fixed it.” Secretary Hegseth confirmed the suspension on X. The military called it an “unusual oversight,” but refused to share further details about the decision.

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent declined to confirm direct tariff negotiations with China, suggesting that Beijing faces severe economic fallout if current trade barriers persist. Speaking to reporters, Bessent cited potential Chinese job losses in the millions and argued that the U.S. trade deficit puts pressure on China to act. While avoiding specifics on communications, he hinted at the unsustainable nature of China’s tariff stance. Beijing denies ongoing talks.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed that conflict benefits no one, offering Beijing's support for de-escalation. Iran and Saudi Arabia have also stepped in, offering to mediate between the two rivals.

President Trump spoke to China's Xi about the ongoing tariff battle, claiming both nations are in an escalating tit-for-tat trade war. While China has denied formal negotiations, Trump is confident that a deal is imminent in the coming weeks. He indicated a "number" that would make China comfortable, but the tariffs continue to cause market uncertainty and global recession fears. With China offering exemptions for critical goods, businesses hope these measures will ease tensions and stabilize supply chains. But, Beijing is prepared for a long-term fight if necessary.
