What's Holding Up Washington's $14 bn Arms Sale to Taiwan?
Taiwan has been waiting months for US President Donald Trump to approve a $14 billion sale of weapons and equipment, which the island democracy would use to fend off a potential Chinese attack. Washington -- Taipei's most important security backer -- has sold many billions of dollars' worth of arms to Taiwan, most recently in December when it approved a record $11.1 billion package, said AFP. China opposes American military support for Taiwan, which Beijing claims is part of its territory and has threatened to seize with force.
