TRUMP TESTING CHINA? PRESIDENT GIVES TAIWAN LICENSE TO BUY AMERICAN SUBMARINES
President Donald Trump’s administration approved the license necessary for American firms to sell Taiwan the technology needed to build its own submarines, while Trump continued his apparent trade war with China.
Taiwan’s Central News Agency first reported the approval Saturday, according to Reuters, stating the Southeast Asian nation’s defense minister, Chen Chung-Chi, confirmed the State Department’s go-head.
An unnamed State Department official told Reuters that its policy toward American-Taiwan defense trade was “consistent” with previous administrations.
“Our longstanding policy on defense sales to Taiwan has been consistent across seven different U.S. administrations,” the official said. “This policy has contributed to the security of Taiwan and also supported the maintenance of peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.”
