The United States has announced a significant $10 billion arms package to Taiwan, a move that signals strengthened defense ties amid growing geopolitical tensions with China. The deal includes advanced military equipment aimed at enhancing Taiwan’s self-defense capabilities.

The United States government has unveiled a new arms sale to Taiwan valued at more than $10 billion, marking one of the largest defense packages in recent years aimed at bolstering Taipei’s security. The announcement comes against the backdrop of escalating tensions between the U.S., Taiwan, and China, as Beijing continues to increase pressure on the self-ruled island

According to U.S. officials, the arms package will include medium-range missiles, surveillance technology, and advanced military support systems, designed to improve Taiwan’s deterrent capabilities and overall combat readiness. The move reflects Washington’s commitment to supporting Taiwan’s defensive autonomy under existing security frameworks

Chinese authorities have criticized the announcement, describing it as a provocation that undermines regional stability. Beijing maintains that Taiwan is a core issue of sovereignty and has repeatedly asserted that foreign military support only serves to intensify tensions in the Taiwan Strait
