Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened an imminent attack to push back U.S.-allied Syrian Kurdish Forces.

Australia on Monday ruled out hosting ground-based U.S. missiles after talks with top defense and diplomatic officials.

The move is likely to anger China, but Esper said Beijing shouldn't be surprised by it.

President Donald Trump said the Pentagon now has the money and the will to create the Space Force.

Army Secretary Mark Esper was confirmed by the full Senate on Tuesday to be the next secretary of defense.

In heated exchanges, Warren demanded to know whether Esper would recuse himself on DoD decisions involving Raytheon.

If confirmed, he said one of his "personal priorities" would be improving the living standards of military families.
