US-Pilipinas
A US senator has warned that President Donald Trump's war in Iran is weakening the United States military's ability to deter China in the South China Sea. Senator Tammy Duckworth stated that such a conflict west of the Philippines could endanger over 750,000 Americans living there and disrupt one-third of global maritime trade. She argued that proper crisis planning is impossible while the US is focused on the Middle East conflict.
