The US and Taiwan could feasibly manufacture weapons jointly, according to Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker, in remarks that risk angering and escalating tensions with China.
“We are open to suggestion and innovation in that regard,” Wicker said at a briefing in Taipei on Saturday. “And that will depend on the skills present both on this side of the Pacific Ocean and ours.”
