U.S. Defense Secretary Responds to Seizure of Chinese and Russian Oil Tankers, Pushes Rubio Away and Makes a Tough Statement That Leaves Reporters in Shock!
On January 8th, U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, during a media briefing, interrupted Senator Marco Rubio's speech, gently pushed him aside, grabbed the microphone and said: "This operation is more complex than imagined, only the U.S. military can accomplish such a thing."
He then changed his tone and clearly stated: The United States did indeed seize two oil tankers. Regardless of what flag they fly or whether they have a registered nationality, if they are related to sanctioned entities (even if they are affiliated with China and Russia), the U.S. will take measures to isolate or even confiscate them. In short, no other country can interfere in America's backyard.
As soon as he said this, the scene fell silent for a few seconds. Some journalists looked down at their notes, some exchanged glances, and others just stared in shock — because the statement was so direct, it almost tore off the last layer of diplomatic euphemism. Then suddenly, the reporters began asking more questions in a flurry.
