US Army Urged to Address China's Growing Missile Threat to US Territory
House China Select Committee Chairman Mike Gallagher is urging the United States Army to address the increasing missile threat from China towards Guam, a strategically important U.S. territory. Gallagher expressed concerns about Guam's vulnerability to China's extensive arsenal of cruise missiles, which could target U.S. assets in the region. He called for transparency regarding delays in deploying a ground-based missile defense system and inquired about plans to enhance Guam's defense capabilities, including potential collaboration with allies Japan and Australia. Gallagher emphasized the urgency of fortifying Guam's defenses amid escalating tensions in the Pacific.
