Hegseth: U.S. Will Defend Taiwan If China Attacks
SHARE

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth delivered a stark warning Saturday, pledging U.S. military support for Taiwan in the event of Chinese aggression, calling the threat “real” and possibly “imminent,” during remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue security summit.

“This isn’t a drill. Communist China will not invade Taiwan on President Trump’s watch,” Hegseth said. “Any attempt by Communist China to conquer Taiwan by force would result in devastating consequences for the Indo-Pacific and the world.”

While Hegseth did not outline specific retaliatory steps, his speech marks the strongest U.S. statement yet under the Trump administration regarding Taiwan’s defense. His remarks come amid China’s ongoing military buildup and aggressive posture toward the self-governed island, which Beijing considers a breakaway province.

The defense secretary also underscored that Asia remains the Trump administration’s top strategic priority — a sharp pivot from decades of U.S. focus in the Middle East and Europe. Still, Hegseth urged Asian allies to contribute more to their own defense, citing disproportionate European spending.(RELATED: Biden Admin Left A Big Loophole For China To Exploit In Taiwan Invasion)

China, which downgraded its delegation at the summit by sending only a one-star admiral, has criticized the conference for being biased. According to Chinese delegate Zhou Bo, a retired senior colonel, the Shangri-La Dialogue offers little value to Beijing, which favors its own Xiangshan Forum.
