The United States has approved its largest-ever arms package for Taiwan, worth $11.1 billion, as tensions with China continue to rise.
The deal includes HIMARS rocket systems, howitzers, Javelin anti-tank missiles, loitering munition drones, and critical spare parts. Washington says the sale will help Taiwan modernise its military, strengthen deterrence, and pursue an asymmetric warfare strategy aimed at countering potential Chinese aggression.
The move comes under President Donald Trump’s current term and follows Taiwan’s announcement of a $40 billion supplementary defence budget. While Beijing opposes U.S. arms sales to Taipei, American officials insist the package is vital to maintaining stability in the Indo-Pacific.
