Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for South and Southeast Asia Department of Defense:
The credibility of our alliances is a bedrock part of global security. When it comes to our commitment to the mutual defense treaty with the Philippines, we believe it applies to any armed attack against Philippine armed forces, Philippine Coast Guard, public vessels and aircraft in the South China Sea. We will absolutely stand by those commitments.
