U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced efforts to strengthen the U.S.-Philippines military alliance, aiming to counter China’s aggression in the Indo-Pacific.

Hegseth emphasized deploying advanced military capabilities, enhancing joint training, and prioritizing defense cooperation.

He described the alliance as “ironclad” amid rising tensions over China’s territorial claims in the South China Sea.

Hegseth’s visit to Manila comes as the Trump administration shifts focus to the Indo-Pacific, reinforcing military partnerships to deter Chinese expansion, CNN has reported.

Chinese officials criticized U.S. actions in the region, accusing them of escalating tensions, while Philippine leaders highlighted the importance of U.S. defense support in countering China.
