Pete Hegseth News
Pentagon Spokesperson, Colonel Chris Devine, pointed out that both leaders reviewed the considerable progress both countries have made toward achieving the defence goals set out in the February 2025 joint statement by President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Narendra Modi and agreed to sign the next ten-year US-India Defence Framework when they meet this year.
China objected to Hegseth's characterization of it as a threat in the Indo-Pacific, terming his remarks "deplorable" and "aimed at creating division."
The revelation of the additional chat group has sparked renewed criticism of Defense Secretary Hegseth and former President Donald Trump’s broader administration, particularly over their inaction against top national security officials who discussed military strike plans via Signal.
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, during his visit to Manila, said that the United States will strengthen its military partnership with the Philippines to "reinforce deterrence" against "China's aggression" in the Indo-Pacific region.
The controversy revolves around a tattoo on Hegseth's bicep that reportedly has ties to extremist symbolism.
