Pete Hegseth / US Department of War
U.S. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth will travel to the Indo-Pacific early next week, underscoring Washington’s “peace through strength” approach and urging allies to increase defence spending amid rising regional tensions, the Department of War said Oct. 26.
The trip will take Hegseth to Hawaii, Japan, Malaysia, Vietnam, and South Korea — a sweep of nations central to the United States’ security strategy in Asia.
