The Biden administration is sending Taiwan a $345 million package of weapons drawn from U.S. stockpiles, the White House announced Friday.
Congress authorized about $1 billion for presidential drawdown packages for Taiwan in the annual defense bill passed last year for the 2023 fiscal year.
Defense Department spokesman Lt. Col. Martin Meiners said the drawdown"includes self-defense capabilities that Taiwan will be able to use to build to bolster deterrence now and in the future." And he added,"Systems included in the $345 million package address critical defensive stockpiles, multi-domain awareness, anti-armor and air defense capabilities."
