Trump Boasts of Secret US Weapons to Threaten China and Iran

Trump Boasts of Secret US Weapons to Threaten China and Iran

President Donald Trump has once again boasted about the unmatched power of the United States military. He claimed that “nobody has any idea” about the existence of secret weaponry, even as tensions rose with China over an increasingly painful tariff war. Speaking to journalists in the Oval Office, the President emphasized America’s military superiority, declaring that “We’re very powerful. This country is very powerful. It’s far more powerful than people understand. We have weaponry that nobody has any idea what it is, and it is the most powerful weapon in the world that we have. More powerful than anybody even, not even close.” Trump aimed this statement, especially towards China and Iran, the two adversary states of the US in Asia.

The US Arsenal

While Trump did not elaborate on the nature of these advanced weapons, his comments recall earlier claims. In 2020, he famously referenced a “super duper missile” capable of flying “17 times faster” than any known system in rival arsenals. Last year, the US successfully tested the HELIOS (High Energy Laser With Integrated Optical Dazzler and Surveillance) laser system, which can be used on an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer to take down a target drone with high energy Laserbeam.

The world already knows about the US B-2 bomber, which is the most stealthy flying machine in the air and has been used in battles. The US moved 6 of them on Diego Garcia recently to threaten Iran, as the situation escalated in West Asia between Iran and the US over Iran’s nuclear deal. The US is also swift in gathering and analyzing information due to its technological advancement, such as using Starlink, which can easily track troop movements, gather information, and use AI-powered drones to attack. The US has eleven Aircraft carriers at sea, some of which are nuclear-powered; hence, they can attack anywhere at any point in time with precision, which other nations do not.

Trump vows to increase defence budget to $1 trillion

Trump’s latest remarks on the military might coincide with the announcement of a record-breaking defence budget. During a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Trump revealed that his administration had approved a nearly $1 trillion defence budget, citing growing global threats.

“We are very cost-conscious, but the military is something that we have to build, and we have to be strong,” Trump said. “Nobody’s seen anything like it.”

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reinforced this message, assuring that every taxpayer dollar would be directed toward “lethality and readiness.”

This historic defence allocation differs from past projections in the Biden administration, where then-Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin had spoken of lower increase proposals. Yet another more recent Pentagon plan had even laid down an 8% decrease overall, emphasizing spending on drone capability, border defences, and China counter-operating instead.

The defence budget this year is at $895.2 billion, and yet, after ballooning spending, the Pentagon has again failed to undergo a successful audit in its seventh consecutive year. The increase in spending also coincides with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which has been fronted by Elon Musk, undertaking heavy cuts across the federal bureaucracy to lay off nearly 280,000 government officials. The US spending on its defence is far more than the combined budget of China, Russia and India.

Tension with Beijing

Trump’s remarks came amid concerns that the ongoing trade dispute with Beijing could spiral into a broader geopolitical confrontation. Trump wants to threaten countries not in line with Washington. On Wednesday, the US raised tariffs on Chinese goods to 125% in retaliation for countermeasures by Beijing. China has yet to officially respond to the latest tariff hike, though its Ministry of Commerce has pledged to “fight to the end” in the escalating trade war.

When pressed on whether he feared an escalation beyond trade, Trump dismissed the notion, saying Chinese President Xi Jinping is “one of the very smart people of the world” who “knows exactly what has to be done” and “would never allow that to happen.” Reiterating his confidence in America’s strength, Trump said, “We have weaponry that nobody has any idea what it is… and it is the most powerful weapon in the world that we have.”

The rule of the world is changing rapidly, where countries from Asia to Europe to the Americas are ready to increase their defence spending. Terms like cooperation, diplomacy, and talks are disappearing from the international arena, and war, confrontations, and retaliations are taking place. The recent statements from Trump highlight that he is asking countries to be ready for the upcoming uncertain world.
