The US president has reportedly refused to sign off on a defense package worth more than $400 millionUS President Donald Trump has refused to approve a weapons package for Taiwan, the Washington Post reported on Friday, citing five people familiar with the matter. The weapons deal, reportedly worth more than $400 million, was described as "more lethal" than previous deliveries. According to the Post, Trump's team believes Taiwan should purchase its own weapons, reflecting the president's "transactional" approach to foreign policy. Beijing, which considers the self-governing island its territory, strongly opposes any foreign military aid to Taipei. Washington has approved several arms sales to Taiwan in recent years, including the delivery of NASAMS air-defense missile systems.
