The U.S. is set to approve a $14 billion arms package for Taiwan, which includes advanced interceptor missiles, following President Trump's trip to China from March 31 to April 2. This deal, the largest ever for Taiwan, aims to bolster its defense amid China's military pressure.

The package consists mainly of PAC-3 and NASAMS missiles, with an additional $6 billion in asymmetric capabilities also pending approval. Despite concerns about U.S. military support potentially being scaled back due to trade negotiations, the Trump administration appears committed to maintaining or increasing support for Taiwan. The U.S. has assured Taiwan of its backing, and the arms procurement process is progressing.
