🧵 In the forthcoming issue of @ForeignAffairs, I argue that the time has come to build a collective defense alliance in Asia—the Pacific Defense Pact—initially comprising Australia, Japan, the Philippines, and the United States.

My contribution: — China is a lower priority in Trump’s 2nd term; views inside more mixed. — “All of this comes together to create this softer policy we see now, philosophically this group appears geared toward a more accommodationist approach to China.”politi.co/3PkLxkQ

The Trump administration is pursuing a policy of accommodation toward China that will leave the U.S. with “less leverage, fewer partners and wider gaps to close.” My latest in @FT: ft.com/content/1445c8…

Thank you @elyratner for the vote of confidence in #Taiwan. We’ll do all we can to acquire the right arms & transform our military for effective deterrence. Still more to be done. Timely passage of the special budget by the LY is crucial.

Trump's war in Iran is degrading U.S. readiness for China—our most consequential military challenge. And the problem runs far deeper than munitions stockpiles. In today's @washingtonpost, @Joe_m_costa and I argue that: "the strategic bill is coming due." wapo.st/4cPFazE
