The United States approved the sale of missile systems and tanks to Taiwan for $ 2 billion

This is reported by CNBC with reference to the statement of the Pentagon Agency for Defense Cooperation.

As noted, a total of Taiwan requests to sell including 108 tanks M1A2T Abrams and 250 sets of Stinger MANPADS.

The eventual sale of US weapons to Taiwan became known last month. The Chinese Foreign Ministry, in response to these reports, expressed grave concern.

In January, Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi said that the Taiwan issue was always “the most sensitive” in relations between Beijing and Washington.
