National security adviser Mike Waltz implied the Trump administration is preventing further spying threats from China by demonstrating military strength.
The Trump administration is adopting an offensive position over the previous Biden administration's defensive position when it comes to China. President Donald Trump signed an executive order in recent weeks that made sweeping cuts at the U.S. Agency for Global Media, which oversees Voice of America and other state-funded news agencies such as Radio Free Asia that broadcast to authoritarian regimes. This followed the president's tariffs against China and pressure on TikTok to divest from its China-based parent company.
"President Trump realizes this is the competition of this century. China has the economy, military wherewithal, a navy that now by numbers larger than ours, a nuclear arsenal that is tripling, everything they're doing in space, but he also knows the way we win is through the strength of our economy and our markets," Waltz said on Fox News's My View with Lara Trump on Saturday. "It’s about revitalizing our pharmaceuticals, our steel, our shipyards and shipbuilding. Of course, infusing that culture change of getting back to meritocracy and lethality in our military. That’s how you prevent wars. That's how you show strength. Deter with strength in our military and win economically and with our markets."
