Trump orders US military to be ready against Russia and China

Donald Trump has ordered the Pentagon to rebuild the US armed forces and prepare them to deter Russia and China if necessary.

US Defense Secretary Pete Hegsett said that Russia and China have become closer due to the incompetence of the previous White House administration.

The minister is also the reason why Trump has ordered the Department of Defense to rebuild the US armed forces to restore military morale and deter rival nations.

He added that this is an effort by the United States to prevent conflict.

"Demonstrations and military parades are normal, but they should not escalate into military conflicts," Hegseth said.
