Ooofff .. I think it is still difficult to challenge US might in Asia at any time. The amount of platforms are staggering. The only thing that is slowing is their US navy ships. Their submarines, fighter jets and bombers numbers are hard to beat

this amount of platforms are all they have in all fronts (the homeland, middle-east, europe, south america,...etc), they're not all in Asia, and there's the element of will: how much lives & platforms they're willing to sacrifice depending on the context & situation of the war?

And also factor their readiness levels, logistics and how much money to pay for all of that while maintaining other expenses...etc. And you need to mobilize the people for that war, and killing civilians in the middle east and carrying out day-to-day colonial & genocidal operations are different that facing an enemy that will hit you at home.

Years and years to develop a stealth cruise missile. They just had to design an airframe. And they still manage to put air launched nuke capable long range stealthy cruise missiles in service a decade after the Russians. They will be getting a Kh-102 equivalent after Russia has the Kh-BD.

There are talks of cancelling the engine upgrade.

They are refurbishing 30 year old missiles.

The SLCM-N, which strictly speaking is not a component of the nuclear triad, being considered a tactical weapon, is also advancing.

Remains to be seen.

The problem continues in the Sentinel ICBM program, but it is progressing.

At a snail's pace. Maybe you will have something in 2040.
I would say the US is currently behind Iran in solid rocket missile technology.

In the next decade, the American triad will consist of:
12 Columbia SLBMs;
240 Trident D5LE missiles;
Approximately 1200 W76-1, W76-2, W88, and W93 warheads;
400 Sentinel ICBMs;
Approximately 400/600 W87-0/W87-1 warheads;
75 B-52J bombers;
100 B-21 bombers;
1000 ALCM LRSO missiles with W80-4 warheads;

Those are utterly fantastical numbers.
Especially the Columbia, Sentinel and stealth cruise missile numbers.
Maybe by 2050 or 2060.
