Taiwan's US Arms Deliveries Delayed Amid Ongoing $14 Billion Package Discussions
Taiwan's military modernization faces delays as the delivery of 66 US-made F-16 Block 70 fighter jets is postponed due to production and supply-chain issues. A proposed $14 billion US arms package to enhance Taiwan's T-Dome air-defense system remains stalled amid ongoing discussions with Washington. Taiwan's Defence Minister Wellington Koo confirmed existing arms sales continue unchanged and that US policy toward Taiwan remains consistent despite Chinese pressure and recent diplomatic interactions between US and Chinese leaders.
