华盛顿谴责了中国在2026年7月20日仁爱礁冲突导致一名菲律宾船员受伤后所采取的所谓危险且激进的行动。
美国国务院于7月21日发表声明谴责了这一事件。发言人汤米·皮戈特（Tommy Pigott）表示，美国呼吁中国立即停止其破坏稳定的行径。
菲律宾军方报告称，中国海警人员在搁浅的“马德雷山号”登陆舰（BRP Sierra Madre）附近用木棒击中了一名海军人员的头部。冲突发生时，一艘载有八名男子的中国船只靠近该舰，随后菲方派出两艘橡皮艇试图驱离该群体。
参议员罗宾·帕迪拉（Robin Padilla）敦促菲律宾政府采取更有力的措施来保护军队并捍卫海洋权益。他形容此次袭击是侵略行为的明显升级，并表示反复的抗议已不足以应对。
美国国务卿马可·卢比奥（Marco Rubio）于7月21日抵达马尼拉，出席东盟外长会议，并表示愿与中国外交官王毅举行场边会晤。
