CHINA-TAIWAN: US SECRETARY OF STATE APPROVES SALE OF 66 F-16 JETS TO TAIWAN
|
The State Department told Congress on August 15 night, right after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had signed a memo approving the $8 billion sale of F-16 fighter jets to Taiwan. Congress is not expected to object to the move. The sale of 66 jets to Taiwan would be the largest or one of the largest single arms package transactions between the United States and the democratic, self-governing island.
