The US State Department on Wednesday approved the sale to Taiwan of $180 million worth of anti-tank systems, the Pentagon said.
These are Volcano anti-tank ammunition delivery systems, cargo trucks, ammunition, logistics support packages and other related services, according to a Pentagon statement.
“This proposed sale serves the national, economic, and security interests of the United States by supporting the recipient’s continued efforts to modernize its military and maintain a credible defensive capability,” the statement said.
The government of China considers Taiwan, which has a democratic government, as part of its territory, and has become more aggressive towards the island under the presidency of Xi Jinping.
Beijing this year protested visits by US politicians and other countries to Taiwan. In August, it organized military exercises to protest against the trip of the speaker of the United States House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi.
US President Joe Biden signed into law last week a defense spending bill that includes up to $10 billion in military grants to Taiwan.
