I joined my colleagues from the State Department and White House today for a conversation at @USIP about how we’ve advanced @POTUS’s Indo-Pacific Strategy over the last two years.

Here’s how @DeptofDefense is delivering in the region: 1⃣ We’re strengthening our trilateral relationship with the Republic of Korea and Japan, including by approving a multi-year exercise plan and activating a real-time DPRK missile warning data-sharing mechanism.

I told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee today that the @DeptofDefense is delivering groundbreaking progress for U.S. alliances and partnerships in the Indo-Pacific.

Here are ten big reasons why: 1. In December, we announced several new force posture initiatives with Australia to increase our capabilities across a range of domains, including U.S. Bomber Task Force rotations, fighter rotations, and future rotations of @USNavy + @USArmy capabilities. defense.gov/News/News-Stor…

We’ve just wrapped up a week of historic senior-leader engagements for the U.S.-Japan Alliance — from the Pentagon to the State Department to the White House.

One thing is clear: The Alliance is already stronger than it’s ever been, and it’s getting even stronger. On Wednesday, @SecDef Austin joined @SecBlinken and their Japanese counterparts for a meeting of the U.S.-Japan Security Consultative Committee – the 2+2 – and advanced key bilateral initiatives to build a more capable, integrated, and agile Alliance. defense.gov/News/Releases/…
