U.S President Joe Biden has approved 567 million dollars in defense support for Taiwan.
In a brief statement, the White House said Mr. Biden had delegated the Secretary of State “to direct the drawdown of up to $567 million in defence articles and services of the Department of Defence, and military education and training, to provide assistance to Taiwan.”
It did not give details of the package, which is nearly twice the size of the $345 million in defence support approved in July last year.
In April this year, Biden signed a hard-fought bill into law that provides billions of dollars of new US aid to Ukraine for its war with Russia, as well as for Israel and Taiwan.
