Kā ziņo RFI, aizsardzības sekretārs Pīts Hegsets un aizsardzības ministrs Dons Džuns otrdien tikās videozvanā, kurā apsprieda vairākus jautājumus, tostarp Taivānas jautājumu. Ministrs Dons Džuns sacīja aizsardzības sekretāram Hegsetam, ka jebkādas shēmas, kuru mērķis ir izmantot militāru spēku neatkarības veicināšanai vai izmantot Taivānu Ķīnas ierobežošanai, "tiks novērstas".
