US Approves $320 Million Military Package for Taiwan Amid Tensions with China
The United States has approved a military package worth $320 million for Taiwan, which includes F-16 replacement parts and radar systems. This announcement comes just before Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te’s Pacific tour, which China views as a provocation. The U.S. Secretary of State has indicated that this military support aims to enhance Taiwan’s defense capability, and Congress must still approve the deal. The ongoing military assistance reflects the U.S.’ commitment to Taiwan amidst rising tensions with China.
