Posted on 2026-05-30 13:07:27
US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth assured Pacific allies today that Washington remains committed to the region.
At the same time, he softened past comments that described China as an imminent threat.
Speaking at the Shangri-La defense conference in Singapore, Hegseth said US policy aims to preserve a favorable balance of power and prevent any country from dominating the Indo-Pacific.
Hegseth said there is no change in US policy toward Taiwan, but he declined to address the reported pause in moving forward with a pending arms package.
