\u201cOur ability to recommence if necessary \u2026 we are more than capable,\u201d Hegseth said in Singapore.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur stockpiles are more than \u200bsuited for that, both there and around the globe, \u200bso we\u2019re in a very good place,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Hegseth, \u2060speaking at the\u00a0Shangri-La Dialogue, Asia\u2019s premier forum for defense leaders, \u200bmilitaries and diplomats, said the US has not turned its back \u200bon the Asia-Pacific region despite being engaged in conflict with Iran.<\/p>\n
