Trump Approves Major Arms Sale to Taiwan
Among the approved transfers: a package exceeding $4 billion for 60 M107A7 Self-Propelled Howitzers with accompanying gear, alongside 82 M142 HIMARS rocket systems and 420 Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) units. Additional deals encompass ALTIUS tube-launched loitering munitions surpassing $1 billion and TOW missiles valued at $353 million.
Washington also authorized a Tactical Mission Network acquisition topping $1 billion—a communications platform designed for military operations—complete with software, hardware, and support services.
Further approvals included Javelin missiles worth over $375 million, a $91.4 million agreement for Harpoon missile maintenance assistance and associated technology, plus a $96 million contract covering AH-1W SuperCobra helicopter components and repair materials.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency, responsible for publicizing significant weapons transfers, issued individual announcements for each transaction.
These disclosures trigger a mandatory 30-day congressional evaluation window during which lawmakers could theoretically adopt a joint resolution blocking the transfer—though the Congressional Research Service notes such efforts have never successfully halted a deal.
