Insider: Trump to Decide on Taiwan Arms Sales Soon, Unrelated to Iran War

In response to reports that the US had paused a $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan due to the conflict with Iran, a US official told the Central News Agency on the 22nd that President Trump will soon make a decision on the sale. The official emphasized that the arms sales process takes years and is unrelated to military operations in Iran. The official stated that the US military has sufficient ammunition stockpiles to meet all strategic goals. A Pentagon spokesperson also issued a statement affirming that US policy toward Taiwan remains unchanged and that the US continues to honor its long-standing commitments under the Taiwan Relations Act. It was also noted that the total value of arms sales to Taiwan approved during the Trump administration has already exceeded the total approved during the four years of the Biden administration.
