US approves sale of ammunition, parts to Taiwan FMTNews FMTWorld
The US plans to sell US$440 million of ammunition and parts to Taiwan to help it. ‘maintain a credible defensive capability’.
The sale is comparatively small in scale and does not expand the range of US weaponry to Taiwan, but comes as the US and China move delicately to stabilise their turbulent relationship. The sales will help Taiwan “maintain a credible defensive capability” but “will not alter the basic military balance in the region,” it said.
Congress has the right to reject the sales but such a move is highly unlikely, with lawmakers pushing for the US to go further and directly provide weapons to Taiwan rather than approving its purchase requests.
