WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Michelle Steel published an op-ed in Newsweek highlighting challenges and opportunities for the incoming Trump Administration in the Asia-Pacific region, including pushing back on threats from the Chinese Communist Party and strengthening alliances with Japan and South Korea.

“With rising threats from the CCP and their regional allies, President Trump will have his work cut out for him in the Asia-Pacific Region. But these challenges provide an opportunity for the U.S. to reassert itself on the international stage, restore global stability, and defend freedom,” Steel wrote.
“The dangerous China-North Korea-Russia partnership merits a strong, deterrence focused response. The safety and security of regional allies like Japan, South Korea, and others depends on a United States that is feared by our adversaries,” Steel added.
An immigrant to the United States, Steel was born in South Korea, grew up in Japan, and speaks both Japanese and Korean fluently. She has worked over her tenure in Congress to elevate the trilateral partnership between the U.S. and Japan and South Korea, as a means of pushing back on aggression from Communist China.
