US EditionUS approves potential US$330 million military sale to Taiwan, first under Trump
- On Nov 13, the Pentagon announced a possible $330 million sale of fighter-jet spare parts to Taiwan, the first arms deal since President Donald Trump returned to the White House.
- The Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office asked for non-standard components and repair support, and the Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered certification to Congress after State Department approval, confirming compliance with U.S. laws.
- The package specifically includes F-16 Fighting Falcon, C-130 Hercules, and Indigenous Defense Fighter aircraft with U.S. government and contractor engineering, technical, and logistics support, the Pentagon said.
- Beijing responded that the sale gravely infringes on China's sovereignty and warned it would take all necessary measures, while Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense expects the sales to take effect within one month and expressed gratitude for U.S. help.
- Following President Donald Trump and President Xi Jinping's meeting last month, the sale underscores Washington's role as Taipei's main arms supplier and U.S. legal commitments to Taiwan's defense amid Beijing-Tokyo tensions.
