The Biden administration is considering selling $1.1 billion worth of weapons to Taiwan.
Informed sources say that the US government has asked the Congress to approve the contract for the sale of arms to Taiwan, worth 1.1 billion dollars.
Despite China’s warnings to the US about arms sales to Taiwan and strengthening separatist sentiments on the island, Washington is still considering sending military equipment to Taipei.
“Paltico” news website reported on Tuesday morning, quoting informed sources, that the American government headed by “Joe Biden” asked the Congress to approve the contract for the sale of arms to Taiwan, worth 1.1 billion dollars.
The sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity, told Politico that the military support package for Taiwan includes 60 anti-ship missiles and 100 air-to-air missiles.
According to Reuters, the White House has not yet responded to questions about the report and military assistance to Taiwan.
Previously, Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen, in a meeting with the American lawmaker who visited the island, described the presence of Western officials in Taipei as a means of strengthening Taiwan’s determination to defend itself.
Taiwan is considered a part of China that has separatist claims; Claims that the countries of the world and the United Nations do not recognize. Beijing has always opposed any contact between Taiwanese representatives and Western officials, especially high-ranking political or military officials from countries with which Beijing has diplomatic ties, saying such visits violate the principle of one China and send the wrong signals to Taiwan’s separatist forces. .
