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 fiery Pentagon briefing, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth lashed out at the media, accusing them of "cheering against Trump" and downplaying the success of Operation Midnight Hammer — a bold series of U.S. airstrikes targeting Iran's nuclear sites. Hegseth defended the mission’s results, slammed leaks of low-confidence intelligence reports, and praised the courage of American pilots and defense crews. With tensions high and politics in play, the Secretary warned that biased reporting could overshadow what he called a “historic” blow to Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a dramatic warning of potential war with China, yet claimed the U.S. seeks no conflict. In a speech filled with paradoxes and Pentagon code, Hegseth promised “peace through strength — seen and unseen, overt and covert.” He emphasized that the U.S. will not humiliate or subjugate China but is fully prepared for confrontation. The remarks deepen concerns over rising tensions in the Indo-Pacific, suggesting a looming power struggle between Washington and Beijing conducted in part through shadowy, undisclosed means.

At the Shangri-La Dialogue, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth declared that China would not dare invade Taiwan while Donald Trump remains in office, warning that Beijing poses a real and possibly imminent threat. Hegseth urged Asian allies to increase defense spending and prepare for a potential regional conflict. He affirmed Trump’s Indo-Pacific focus and emphasized consequences for any Chinese aggression. With China skipping the summit, Hegseth’s comments take on sharper geopolitical meaning, signaling America’s hard stance and strategic pivot toward Asia’s growing security challenges.

Trump is at the center of a political and legal storm after confirming plans to temporarily use a $400 million Boeing 747-8 — dubbed the “Flying Palace” — reportedly offered by Qatar’s royal family. Trump claims the ultra-luxurious jet is a “gift, free of charge” to the U.S. government while the new Air Force One fleet faces delays. However, Qatari officials deny it’s a personal gift to Trump and say the deal remains under review with the U.S. Department of Defense. Critics, including top Democrats, warn the arrangement may breach the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause and raise national security concerns over foreign influence.

In a stunning show of unity, former GOP rivals Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis toured a controversial new deportation facility in the Florida Everglades — dubbed “Alligator Alcatraz.” The swampy, isolated camp is designed to promote “self-deportation” by making conditions intentionally uncomfortable. Just last year, Trump branded DeSantis as “DeSanctimonious” during the brutal 2024 primaries — but now, he calls their relationship a “10 out of 10.” What does this alliance mean for U.S. immigration policy, and how will the public react to this extreme enforcement strategy?

During a fiery press conference in Florida, President Donald Trump threatened to arrest New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, labeling him as "anti-Israel" and claiming he may be in the U.S. illegally. The dramatic statement came just hours after Mamdani’s primary win was certified. Trump threw his support behind current Mayor Eric Adams, stating he had "helped him out a little bit" in the past. The president also criticized Mamdani’s plan to oppose ICE operations in NYC, warning, “If that happens, we’ll have to arrest him.”
This escalating clash between the White House and a local progressive politician could have national consequences.

Donald Trump has escalated his feud with Elon Musk to a new level, openly threatening to “take a look” at deporting the billionaire entrepreneur despite his U.S. citizenship. In the same breath, Trump vowed to unleash the “monster” DOGE agency to investigate Musk’s companies. Minutes later, Musk appeared to retreat, posting on X that he was “so tempted to escalate this… but will refrain for now.”

A week after the Israel-Iran war, the U.S. and Israel are fast-tracking ceasefire talks to end the conflict in Gaza. Israeli envoy Ron Dermer is meeting with the Trump administration in Washington, while Netanyahu is scheduled to meet Trump on July 7. The summit will address ceasefire terms, Iran, and broader regional threats. President Trump stated a deal may be reached "by next week," while Hamas stressed U.S. pressure on Israel is critical. Trump’s team says returning hostages remains the top priority.

China has said it is ready for talks with India to negotiate and manage the long-disputed border following a direct push by Indian defence minister Rajnath Singh. The statement comes days after Singh met his Chinese counterpart Admiral Dong Jun at the SCO meet in Qingdao.
Singh had urged for a permanent solution to the LAC demarcation and troop de-escalation, referring to a “structured roadmap” for resolving tensions. Beijing responded that while the border issue is complicated, established diplomatic and military mechanisms are in place, and both sides must work to keep peace and stability. The 2020 Galwan Valley clash — which claimed 20 Indian and at least 4 Chinese soldiers — had tanked bilateral relations, but recent developments such as talks resuming and Kailash Mansarovar Yatra reopening signal cautious optimism. Both sides have agreed to continue dialogue through Special Representative mechanisms and cross-border initiatives.

A shocking Czech intelligence report has revealed that Chinese agents plotted a staged car crash to intimidate Taiwan’s Vice President-elect Hsiao Bi-Khim during her 2024 visit to Prague. Described as a “demonstrative kinetic action,” the operation was orchestrated by individuals linked to China’s embassy in Prague. Military intelligence says the attempt never advanced past the planning stage — but a Chinese agent’s reckless move, running a red light while tailing Hsiao’s convoy, sparked the investigation.
Taiwan’s Presidential Office has condemned the plot, while Czech officials quietly raised concerns with Beijing. The incident further exposes China’s covert operations and aggressive attempts to isolate Taiwan diplomatically. Lawmakers in Taiwan called the plot an act of “transnational repression.” Despite China’s pressure on global governments, Taiwan continues to assert itself as a sovereign democracy — and this failed intimidation attempt may have backfired for Beijing.

President Donald Trump has confirmed a new trade deal with China focused on expediting rare earth shipments to the U.S. After secretive negotiations in London, Beijing has agreed to ease export controls while Washington lifts several restrictive measures. This breakthrough follows accusations of non-compliance after the Geneva pact in May. The fragile agreement signals a major de-escalation in the US-China trade standoff and could reshape the global tech and defense supply chain. Trump teased the deal during a high-profile event, declaring it a "big win" for American industry.
