A senior Taiwanese official stated that US arms sales to Taiwan and Taiwan's semiconductor industry are important US national interests, amid ongoing US-China summit discussions with no breakthrough on Taiwan issues. The US has approved large arms sales worth billions to Taiwan but the approval of a new $14 billion package remains pending following talks between Presidents Trump and Xi.
