Pentagon signals shift: US defence for homeland and Indo-Pacific, allies on their own in 2026 plan


WASHINGTON Jan 24 — The US military will prioritize protecting the homeland and deterring China while providing “more limited” support to allies in Europe and elsewhere, a Pentagon strategy document released on Friday said.

“As US forces focus on homeland defense and the Indo-Pacific, our allies and partners elsewhere will take primary responsibility for their own defense with critical but more limited support from American forces,” the 2026 National Defense Strategy said. — AFP
