Taiwan says US arms sales to island are unchanged, but a $14B package remains on hold

Taiwan’s defense minister confirmed on Tuesday in Bangkok that current U.S. arms sales to the island are proceeding without change. Taipei continues to engage in ongoing discussions with U.S. officials regarding the status of individual defense contracts.

Despite the stability of existing agreements, a significant $14 billion arms package remains stalled. This record-level deal is currently on hold, though officials maintain that negotiations regarding the broader defense relationship are ongoing.
