WASHINGTON, July 15 (Reuters) - The United States will
support countries that believe China has violated their maritime
claims in the South China Sea, U.S. Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo said on Wednesday but stressed doing so in multilateral
and legal forums.
"We will then go use the tools that we have available and we
will support countries all across the world who recognize that
China has violated their legal territorial claims as well – or
maritime claims as well," Pompeo told reporters. "We will go
provide them the assistance we can, whether that's in
multilateral bodies, whether that's in ASEAN, whether that's
through legal responses, we will use all the tools we can," he
said, referring to the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian
Nations (ASEAN).
