Senators pitch bipartisan affirmation of US-Taiwan ties amid arms sale pause
A bipartisan group of US senators proposed a resolution affirming support for defensive arms sales to Taiwan as President Trump pauses a $14 billion weapons package. The resolution reaffirms the Taiwan Relations Act and US policy supporting Taiwan's self-defense, pushing back against concerns that Trump's pause signals weakening US commitment to the island.
