Secretary of War Pete Hegseth is warning that China must not dominate the Indo-Pacific region.

Speaking at a defense summit in Singapore, Hegseth also emphasizing US commitment to regional security as concerns grow over China's increasing military buildup in the region.

>> And while a decent peace is our goal, make no mistake.

America is a Pacific nation.

And we insist that China respect our long-standing position in the region and not just insist, but maintain the manifest military strength to underwrite it.

>> Hegseth also renewing calls for US allies to strengthen their own military capabilities, saying regional security cannot overly rely on American forces.

>> This is a mindset we fully embrace.

The era of the United States subsidizing the defense of wealthy nations is over.

We need partners, not protectorates.

We seek alliances built on shared responsibility, not dependency.

For too long, the security of this region has rested disproportionately on American military power.

>> Hegseth adding that Japan, the Philippines, and Australia are stepping up and increasing defense cooperation and investments to secure their foothold in the region.

The secretary also mentioning that the US is prepared to resume strikes on Iran if talks fail, saying US forces remain ready and capable.

His comments come as the US Navy warns commercial vessels about dangerous military activity in and around the Strait of Hormuz.
