The U.S. plans to boost weapons sales to Taiwan beyond levels seen during Trump’s first term, aiming to deter growing Chinese military pressure.
Officials say upcoming arms approvals could “easily exceed” the $18.3 billion sold under Trump’s earlier administration.
Washington is also urging Taiwan’s opposition not to resist the government’s push to raise defence spending to 3% of the budget.
The move may ease concerns about Trump’s stance on Taiwan but risks further straining U.S.-China relations.
