Taiwan trusts in the continuity of US support for arms sales after democratic victory

Taiwan's Defense Minister, Wellington Koo, expressed confidence in continued U.S. support for arms sales following the Democratic Party's electoral victory. He noted bipartisan Congressional backing for Taiwan's defense efforts and emphasized ongoing collaboration with U.S. lawmakers. The Democrats' win may pressure the Trump administration to approve a significant arms package for Taiwan, valued at approximately $14 billion. Despite lacking official diplomatic ties, the U.S. remains Taiwan's primary arms supplier and could intervene in case of conflict with China, which views Taiwan as part of its territory.
