In a groundbreaking move, the United States has allocated a historic $345 million military aid package for Taiwan, shifting away from the foreign military sales program to draw from existing US military stockpiles. The aid package includes advanced weaponry, portable air defense systems, intelligence and surveillance capabilities, firearms, missiles, and MQ-9 Reaper drones. While emphasizing it as part of Taiwan’s self-defense capability, the announcement is likely to provoke China, which sees Taiwan as a breakaway province. The move reflects the US administration’s commitment to bolstering Taiwan’s security amidst rising tensions in the region.
