Trump mută ultimul portavion american din Pacific. Beijingul poate profita de atenția SUA asupra Iranului • Newsweek România

The USS George Washington has been redeployed from the Western Pacific to the Middle East, leaving the region temporarily without an American aircraft carrier. This shift raises concerns as China may exploit the situation to enhance its military presence and influence in the Pacific, particularly regarding Taiwan. Analysts note that the ongoing conflict with Iran strains U.S. naval resources, complicating military operations across multiple regions. The absence of the carrier could alter perceptions of U.S. power among regional allies, while the U.S. reassures partners of its commitment to security in the Pacific.
