Taiwan Denies New Arms Talks with US Amid Defense Concerns

Despite reports of a potential $15 billion military package, Taiwan states no new stage in arms negotiations with the US.

Taiwan has publicly denied entering a new phase of arms talks with the United States, despite media reports suggesting otherwise.
Reports indicate Taiwan is considering a $15 billion military package to demonstrate its defensive commitment to the incoming Trump administration.
Potential arms purchases could include 60 F-35 fighter jets, 400 Patriot missiles, and the Aegis Combat System.
President-elect Donald Trump has previously suggested Taiwan should pay the US for its defense, raising concerns in Taiwan.
US officials estimate China could be prepared to invade Taiwan by 2027, escalating the urgency of Taiwan's defense preparations.
