In a significant move, the United States has given the green light for $2 billion in arms sales to Taiwan. This includes the delivery of an advanced surface-to-air missile defense system to the self-ruled island, marking the first time such a system will be provided to Taiwan.
Taiwan's presidential office expressed gratitude towards Washington for approving the potential arms sales. The decision comes as Taiwan, under President Lai Ching-te, has been ramping up its defense measures in response to increased military threats from China, which claims Taiwan as its own territory.
