US Weighing New Taiwan Arms Sale Before Trump-Xi Summit, FT Says
The US is preparing new arms sales to Taiwan, which have unsettled Chinese officials to the point that President Donald Trump’s planned visit to China in April could be in jeopardy, according to the Financial Times.
The purchase would be in addition to an $11 billion deal announced in December, the FT said, citing people familiar with the matter that it didn’t identify. The arms would include Patriot and NASAMS missiles as well as two other systems, the paper said.
