Ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Taiwan Strait, with the US periodically approving arms sales to Taiwan.
Taiwan’s representative to the United States expressed confidence that Washington would approve a new round of arms sales to Taiwan, though US President Donald Trump has yet to make a decision on the matter. Meanwhile, Cheng Li-wun, leader of Taiwan’s main opposition party, who is visiting Washington, said she did not oppose US arms sales to Taiwan. Cheng also met on Wednesday afternoon with Brian Mast, who chairs the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Taiwanese media said Cheng stated after the meetings that the KMT’s real position was not opposition to US arms sales, but rather that it “places great importance on cooperation with the United States on arms purchases”, while questioning the procedures by which the ruling Democratic Progressive Party has pushed forward the arms procurement budget.
