U.S. Congress Reaffirms Support for Taiwan Amidst Trump's Negotiation Remarks
Members of the U.S. Congress have reaffirmed their support for Taiwan, despite President Trump's comments suggesting that arms sales to the island could be used as a 'negotiating chip' with China. This statement was made during the IISS Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, where U.S. delegates emphasized the bipartisan nature of their commitment to Taiwan's security. The $14 billion in arms sales, approved by Congress, is seen as a critical component of Taiwan's defense strategy against potential threats from China.
