Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Windsor Johnston.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is calling on Asian allies to ramp up military spending.
NPR's Jennifer Pak reports Hegseth is addressing a regional defense summit this weekend in Singapore.
Secretary Hegseth told a room full of military defense officials and diplomats
that there is rightful alarm at what he called China's historic military buildup,
that a Pacific dominated by any hegemon would unravel the regional balance
of power and undermine the equilibrium we all seek to preserve.
He was less clear on how to prevent an escalation
and did not clarify the status of U.S. arms sales to Taiwan and the Iran war, key issues affecting Asian allies.
Hegseth also touted better U.S.-China relations coming off what he called
a historic summit between President Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping in Beijing.
