Taiwan Confirms US Arms Sale Commitment Amid Delayed $14 Billion Package
Taiwan's Defence Minister Wellington Koo stated that the US commitment to arms sales remains unchanged, with no confirmed plans to divide a proposed $14 billion package into smaller parts. The US has delayed approval of this arms sale to maintain relations with China, which opposes such sales. Taiwan and the US continue close military cooperation, supporting Taiwan's defense readiness. Taiwanese officials, including the Foreign Minister and former President, are currently visiting the US for diplomatic engagements amid ongoing tensions with China.
