The Trump administration has approved one of its largest-ever arms packages for Taiwan, with total sales valued at up to $11 billion.
The move is intended to strengthen Taiwan’s ability to defend itself against China, but it is almost certain to provoke anger in Beijing.
The package covers a wide range of weapons and systems, including missiles, drones, artillery, and advanced battlefield software.
The most significant item is the HIMARS rocket system, which has played a major role in Ukraine’s defense against Russia.
Taiwan will also receive self-propelled howitzers and a new digital command network that allows military units to share real-time information during operations.
