Twenty-One Senators Call For Immediate Action On Defense Assistance
Twenty-one US Democratic senators have urged President Donald Trump to immediately deliver congressionally approved defense assistance to Taiwan, including $1.3 billion in funds and a $14 billion arms sales package. The senators criticized Trump for rolling out the red carpet for Chinese President Xi Jinping instead of confronting him on key issues. The move comes as the first two F-16V Block 70 jets purchased by Taiwan from the US are set to arrive, as reported by Taipei Times.
