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.
Assassinations, Jihad Attacks On U.S. Officials – Including Trump, Vance, Rubio, Hegseth And Their Families - Elon Musk And His Companies, U.S. Military, Microsoft, And Targeting Jews In America And Europe: 'There Are No Red Lines.' Al-Awlaki urged Muslims to revive the "tradition of assassinations," describing it as the "greatest form of Jihad today." He said the targets should be the "leaders of apostasy," whom he labeled "Jewish Arabs," specifically naming the leaders of Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states.
He appealed directly to military personnel in Arab countries, calling on them to take action. He said Arab pilots should strike "the Jews," U.S. military bases in the region, and American aircraft carriers. At the very least, he said, they should attack the palaces of Arab leaders, describing these as the "initial steps" that must be taken.
Al-Awlaki claimed there are 4.5 million Muslims in the United States and said that they should carry out acts of retaliation without hesitation, stating: "Do not consult anyone about killing infidel Americans." Speaking over images of Manhattan skyscrapers, he said that the list of targets should be "effective," and declared: "There are no red lines."

House Democratic Caucus Chair Rep. Pete Aguilar (CA) grilled Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over President Trump’s controversial decision to deploy the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles without state approval. Aguilar raised concerns about troops lacking basic provisions, while Hegseth defended the move, calling Governor Newsom ineffective and asserting federal authority. The heated exchange reflects deepening tensions over federal intervention, civil unrest, and constitutional boundaries. The 60-day deployment has ignited sharp political backlash, with both sides trading accusations over leadership and law enforcement failures.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed in a TV interview that the Trump administration diverted 20,000 anti-drone missiles, originally approved under Biden, away from Ukraine to the Middle East. Zelensky said Ukraine relied on these precision-guided weapons to counter Shaheed drone strikes, including a record 472 drones on June 1. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth cited urgency but skipped a major Ukraine meeting. Trump later resumed aid after Kyiv agreed to a ceasefire, sparking backlash over his stance to “let the war continue.”

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has said he is confident NATO allies will commit to Donald Trump’s bold demand of raising defence spending to 5% of GDP. Speaking after a high-stakes meeting in Brussels, Hegseth noted there was near-consensus among member states, with many already surpassing the 2% benchmark. The final commitment is expected during the Hague summit later this month. NATO Secretary-General Mark Rutte also supported a split plan—3.5% for hard military power and 1.5% for broader security needs—calling it a historic turning point in alliance capability.

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.

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.

Five massive car bomb explosions rocked Tehran, Iran’s capital, just hours after Iran launched another missile salvo at Israel. Iranian media immediately blamed Israel for the coordinated attack, marking a major escalation in the regional conflict. Reports claim at least 14 Iranian nuclear scientists have been assassinated by Israeli forces since Friday. Meanwhile, Trump has called for peace talks, urging Iran and Israel to "make a deal." As the two nations trade fire and shadow attacks, fears of all-out war continue to grow across the Middle East.

President Trump’s highly anticipated 250th Army anniversary parade in Washington D.C. was meant to be a patriotic spectacle—but it fell flat. Despite tanks, military flyovers, and millions spent, the streets were shockingly under-attended. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of anti-Trump protesters flooded cities across the U.S., chanting “No Kings” and calling for his ouster. The contrast was jarring: as Trump delivered a brief 8-minute speech calling the U.S. “the hottest country,” political violence rocked Minnesota and national tensions surged. Is this a celebration—or a country in crisis?

In a bold Truth Social post, Donald Trump warned Iran not to target U.S. military bases following Israeli strikes on Iranian defense HQs and oil facilities. While denying U.S. involvement in the overnight attacks, Trump issued a stark threat of overwhelming military force if Iran retaliates. Simultaneously, he claimed he could “easily” broker peace between Israel and Iran. As exchanges intensify—marked by Iran’s use of the Fattah-1 hypersonic missile—fears of a wider war escalate across the region.

The EU has raised alarms over severe disruptions caused by China’s rare earth export restrictions, which have slashed supplies to key industries, including auto manufacturing. Exports to Germany halved in April, prompting emergency talks between EU officials and China’s commerce ministry. Beijing’s opaque and security-heavy licensing system is delaying shipments and pushing prices 4–7 times higher. The U.S. has accused China of violating trade agreements, as manufacturers in both the EU and U.S. now face critical material shortages.
