Taiwan: No word from US on any weapons sale pause
Taiwan's government has not been officially notified of any pause in a planned $14 billion U.S. arms sale to Taipei, despite statements from acting U.S. Navy Secretary Hung Cao about pausing some foreign military sales due to the Iran conflict. The Taiwanese authorities continue to await clarification from the United States regarding the status of the weapons sale.
