“According to The Washington Post, the Trump administration, which China has been verbally attacking for weeks, is going to sell $8 billion worth of new F-16 fighter jets to Taiwan.
The Post reported, The State Department submitted the package to Congress for informal review late Thursday, and it is not expected to meet opposition, according to several U.S. officials and other people familiar with the matter. It would be the largest and most significant sale of weaponry to Taiwan in decades.
