The US began providing Taiwan with US-funded military aid last year by Dave DeCamp September 22, 2024 at 7:29 pm ET CategoriesNewsTagsChina, Taiwan The Biden administration is preparing to provide Taiwan with $567 in military aid as the US continues to ignore China’s red lines related to the island, Defense News reported on Friday. The weapons package is in the final stages and will be provided through the Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA), which allows the US to ship weapons to other countries directly from US military stockpiles. The military aid will be the largest PDA package that the US has provided Taiwan. Since Washington severed diplomatic relations with Taipei in 1979 as part of a normalization deal with Beijing, the US has always sold weapons to Taiwan but never financed the purchases or provided the arms free of charge until last year.
