Taiwan's Deputy Foreign Minister said arming Taiwan and supporting its semiconductor industry remain key U.S. interests after the Trump-Xi summit, despite no clear U.S. decision yet on the pending $14 billion arms sale. The U.S. continues to maintain its Taiwan policy including arms sales under the Taiwan Relations Act, with ongoing communication expected before further Trump-Xi meetings.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Arming Taiwan is now firmly restated as a U.S. national interest, so semiconductor and defence founders should prepare for steady demand and uncertain diplomatic delays. You must track US-China summit outcomes for signals on when major arms deals will move forward or stall.
