Antony Blinken: “Our budget proposal will allow us to further deepen our diplomatic footprint in the Indo-Pacific.”

We have done and we will continue to do everything we can to, if we can do it, develop the information and share the information.

The need for U.S. global leadership--and cooperation with allies and partners--has never been greater.
