President Obama has decided to sell a new arms package to Taiwan that will
likely include weapons and equipment to upgrade the island’s F-16 jets,
according to administration and congressional officials.
Congress will be briefed Friday on the arms package, worth an estimated $4.2
billion, said officials who spoke on the condition of anonymity. A formal
announcement is expected soon.
“All we’ve been told is the president has made a decision, and I assume it
will be for the F-16 A/B upgrade package,” said a senior congressional
aide close to the issue.
The president decided against selling Taiwan 66 advanced F-16 C/D model
aircraft, despite several requests from Taipei and Congress, the officials
said. |
