On April 10th, U.S. Secretary of Defense Hengseth stated in an exclusive interview with Fox News that if a conflict occurred between the United States and China, it would lead to terrible consequences.
"We do not seek a conflict with China, and its consequences will be terrible."
On the same day, according to reports by CNBC citing White House messages, U.S. President Trump had imposed tariffs on Chinese goods reaching 145%.
Hengseth is not reckless and knows that the consequences of a conflict between the United States and China would be terrible.
Knowing this is good, no one wants a conflict, but if a conflict were to occur, China wouldn't be afraid. Over half a century ago, the United States already experienced it on the Korean battlefield.
