TAIPEI: Washington has approved $11 billion-worth of arms to Taiwan, Taipei said Thursday, announcing one of the largest weapons packages for the island as it seeks to deter a potential Chinese invasion. While Washington is traditionally Taiwan’s biggest arms supplier, remarks by US President Donald Trump raised doubts about his willingness to defend the democratic island. Taiwan has ramped up its defense spending in the past decade as China has intensified military pressure, but Trump’s administration has pushed the island to do more to protect itself.
