Taipei says it’s yet to receive formal notice as concerns grow over Washington’s commitment to island’s security
The U.S. is pausing a $14bn arms sale to Taiwan as it diverts munitions to sustain the war against Iran, exposing mounting anxieties over rapidly depleting stockpiles.
It comes just days after Donald Trump returned from a high-profile summit with Xi Jinping in China, a country that claims sovereignty over self-governed Taiwan and has threatened to “reunite” it with the mainland by force, if necessary.
Trump said he had discussed the matter of the $14bn arms deal “in great detail” with Chinese president Xi Jinping and would make a decision “over the next fairly short period”, breaking decades of U.S. policy that states decision on Taiwan should not be made in collaboration with Beijing.
MAGA licking Xi’ ball sweat. Pathetic. Free West Taiwan!
Taiwan can also create chip and ram shortages in the US. Its so dumb.
Just make another / multiple deal. Silly people. Both sides are snakes - so do snake things right?
Taiwan just needs to get trump to visit and the arms sale will be back on
Or just send him a
piecepeace prize award, golden if possible.A welcome group from the plane with lots of young girls waving flags would actually do it, I guess. That’s not a joke. I’m tired.
I hate that you’re right :(
I guess the check cleared. So great he doesn’t have to worry about being investigated for any sort of financial crimes anymore now that he can never be audited
Probably was trump and Melania coin transfers anyway
You think they still have anything in that? Red hats have been holding that bag for months now.
Why do I get this feeling that Trump sold out Taiwan for either a bribe or concessions from Xi over Iran?
“Over the next fairly short period” god this guy can’t word.
Also if the deal was agreed etc and part delivered I guess Taiwan can sue them or something?
I thought the US abandoned Europe to focus on China… They’re just abandoning anyone with a working democracy
God damn that’s a lot
