US Pausing $14 Billion Arms Sale to Taiwan Due to Iran War, Navy Chief Says The United States has paused a record breaking $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan due to the ongoing conflict with Iran, according to the US Navy chief.
The decision has sent shockwaves through the region, but its implications are complex and multifaceted. The pause on arms sales is not a new development; it was always contingent on President Trump's sign off.
The $11 billion arms package approved by his administration in December still needs to be finalized, and now that process will be delayed indefinitely.
