LIVE: U.S. Dares China, Boosts Alliance With Philippines With Military Funding | South China Sea

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin are meeting with their Philippine counterparts in Manila to discuss the escalating tensions in the South China Sea. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has welcomed the US support, emphasizing the need for regular engagements between Manila and Washington to ensure "agile" responses to China's maritime aggression. The US has pledged $500 million in foreign military financing to the Philippines, part of a larger $2 billion aid package for Indo-Pacific countries. A series of escalating confrontations between Philippine and Chinese vessels in the disputed waterway have raised concern that Manila's ally Washington could be dragged into a conflict.
