US Says It’s Pushing to Speed Up Taiwan Weapons Shipments

The US is trying to speed up arms shipments to Taiwan, according to the de facto ambassador to Taipei, comments likely to reassure officials in Taipei worried about the Trump administration pausing military aid for Ukraine.

“We are actively working to accelerate delivery timelines, particularly for equipment related to asymmetric warfare as this is especially crucial for Taiwan’s defense,” Raymond Greene, director of the American Institute in Taiwan, said in an interview with the Liberty Times, a newspaper in Taipei.
