Vice President Kamala Harris reaffirmed the U.S. commitment to the Indo-Pacific on Aug. 23, as the regime in Beijing continues its propaganda attack against the United States following the tumultuous U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Harris made the remarks during a joint press conference with Singaporean Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong following a meeting between the two. She arrived in Singapore on Aug. 22 for a seven-day visit that will also include a trip to Vietnam. Harris also met with Singapore’s President Halimah Yacob.
