Taiwan Urges U.S. Arms Deal Amid Rising Tensions
Description
Taiwan’s top diplomat in the U.S. is sounding the alarm: Taipei can’t wait for help—it must build its own defense, especially as China escalates military pressure daily. Despite a stalled $14 billion arms deal and President Trump’s ambiguous comments about discussing the sale with Xi Jinping, the U.S. remains legally bound to support Taiwan’s security. Diplomat Alexander Yui Tah-ray insists Taiwan is taking full responsibility for its defense, countering Beijing’s aggressive maneuvers with its own military readiness. He confirms no shift in U.S. policy, even amid Trump’s unpredictable foreign approach, and stresses that Taiwan’s self-reliance is critical as it pushes for swift approval of essential weapons to safeguard its freedom and democracy.
