WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The U.S. State Department has approved a potential $385 million sale of military equipment to Taiwan, the Pentagon said on Friday.
Taiwan and the United States have no official diplomatic relations, but Washington is required by law to provide Taipei with the means to defend itself.
China considers democratically governed Taiwan its own territory despite strong objections from the Taipei government.
The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) attached to the Pentagon indicated that spare parts for F-16 fighters and radars would be among the equipment sold to Taiwan.
Taiwan's Defense Ministry said it expected the sale to “take effect” within a month.
China has called on the United States to exercise “utmost caution” in its relations with Taiwan.
