Taiwan’s defence minister said US arms sales to the island remain unchanged and that Taipei remains in talks with Washington over individual deals, on Tuesday, September 29, 2026, according to The Associated Press (AP), in a text republished by The Hindu.

A record 14 billion arms package to the island, however, remains stalled. The United States paused the 14 billion deal after a May summit in Beijing between Trump and Xi Jinping, and China pressed Washington to halt the arms sales to the island, according to AP, in a text published by Mercury News.
