Biden's Surprise Move Amid China Threat; U.S. To Fund Taiwan Military From Ukraine Budget

The White House is reportedly considering funding arms for Taiwan via a portion of Ukraine's budget. Reports indicate that the Biden administration is preparing to request congressional authorization to provide weaponry to Taiwan by utilizing resources from Ukraine's budget. If approved, this would be the first instance of Taiwan receiving arms through the Foreign Military Financing scheme - a U.S. mechanism to support foreign militaries in procuring U.S.-made equipment.
