Washington may delay arms sale to Taiwan

The United States is considering delaying the announcement of a $14 billion arms deal with Taiwan, which includes advanced missile and air defense systems. This comes in the context of rising tensions with China, which regards Taiwan as part of its territory and opposes arms sales to the island. The potential delay is part of American efforts to maintain good relations with Beijing, especially given the timing of the announcement in relation to the upcoming Asia-Pacific Forum summit in November. There is also a possibility of extending the delay until the end of the year or early 2029. Despite these considerations, Washington faces internal and external pressures, with a backlog of arms delivery requests hindering the implementation schedule. The American administration is exploring options to strike a balance between its legal and diplomatic commitments with China and Taiwan's security interests.
