The move is part of ongoing U.S. efforts to support Taiwan's defense capabilities amid growing tensions with China, which considers the island its territory. The sale includes spare parts for military equipment, which will allow Taiwan to maintain the combat capability of its armed forces.
The final decision on the sale is yet to be approved by the US Congress, but such transactions usually go through without any problems. The sale is expected to contribute to regional stability and improve Taiwan's defense capabilities, in line with the US policy of supporting the island's defense efforts.
