US TO PROVIDE TAIWAN WITH $345 MN IN MILITARY AID
The Sunday Guardian
|July 30, 2023
On 28 July 2023, the US announced $345 million in military aid for Taiwan. This is said to be the Biden administration’s first significant package drawing on America’s stockpiles in order to help Taiwan stand against China.
-
As per the White House’s announcement, the package would include education, defence and training for the Taiwanese forces. Washington is set to send man-portable air defence systems, or MANPADS, firearms and missiles, intelligence and surveillance capabilities.
US lawmakers have been urging the Pentagon and White House to rush weapons to Taiwan. The Biden Administration is aiming to help Taiwan counter China and to prevent Chinese forces from considering attacking, by delivering Taipei enough weaponry that it would make the cost of invasion too high.
