US Announces $567 Million for Taiwan’s Defense

The United States announced on Sept. 29 a drawdown of up to $567 million in defense support for Taiwan.

In a statement, the White House said President Joe Biden has authorized the drawdown to provide Taiwan with “defense articles and services of the Department of Defense, and military education and training.”

The statement comes after multiple waves of test missile firings were detected in inland China over the weekend.

The White House did not explain what defense articles and services will be provided to self-ruling Taiwan, which Beijing seeks to claim as its territory.
