The United States has approved a significant arms sales package worth $2 billion to Taiwan, marking the first delivery of an advanced surface-to-air missile defense system to the self-ruled island. This move has sparked criticism from China, which claims sovereignty over Taiwan.
Taiwan's presidential office expressed gratitude towards Washington for authorizing the arms sales, emphasizing the importance of enhancing defense capabilities in the face of escalating military threats from China. Under President Lai Ching-te, Taiwan has been actively bolstering its defense measures.
