America has made it clear that the process of selling arms to Taiwan has nothing to do with the ongoing war with Iran. A reliable source said that the sale of arms to Taiwan has been an ongoing process for many years and should not be linked to the Iran war. Recently, a senior US official had said that there is a delay in the supply of weapons to Taiwan because America needs ammunition on a large scale for the ongoing Operation Epic Fury against Iran, but now this claim has been rejected.

According to sources, America has enough arms, ammunition and military stocks to fulfill all the strategic goals of President Donald Trump. He said the arms sales process often takes several years and is part of the normal process.

Concern increased due to Trump’s statement

President Donald Trump recently said after meeting Chinese President Xi Jinping that he has not yet decided on the package for selling arms to Taiwan. After his statement, concern increased in Taiwan. Taiwan has been waiting for an arms package worth about $14 billion from America for a long time.

China continues to protest

China considers Taiwan as its part and has been continuously opposing America’s sale of arms to Taiwan. On the other hand, America is committed to providing Taiwan with the necessary weapons and assistance for its security under the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979. The US government has said that there has been no change in its policy regarding Taiwan.

What did Taiwan say?

The Taiwan government said on Friday that it has not received any official information from America regarding any delay in arms sales. At the same time, China is continuously pressurizing America to stop selling arms to Taiwan. Taiwan says that its future will be decided by its people themselves.

Big issue of US-China tension

The issue of Taiwan has been a major cause of tension between America and China for a long time. On one hand, America supports Taiwan’s security, while on the other hand, China sees it as its internal matter. This matter has become even more sensitive amid the Iran war and increasing tension with China. It is believed that President Trump may soon take a final decision on the Taiwan arms package.
