U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is expected Thursday to approve moving the only aircraft carrier based in the Asia-Pacific region to the Middle East, two defense officials told VOA.

The rare movement of the USS Ronald Reagan, which is based in Yokosuka, Japan, and usually deploys around the Pacific, would support the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan, according to the officials.

The deployment of the USS Ronald Reagan will likely mean the U.S. won't have an aircraft carrier based in the region, at least for part of the carrier's deployment.

Then the USS Reagan will not be a factor if China takes Taiwan.

China needs to consolidate it's conquest of the USA before it moves on Taiwan.

The war is not over. Many of the players still don't know that it's on.

I bet Xi told Beijing Biden

"get rid of tariff and move carrier out of china sea, you stray dog."
