Taiwan's presidential office said on Friday it had not received any information about the U.S. adjusting military sales, after a senior U.S. official suggested there was a pause due to the need to have enough arms for the war with Iran.
Taiwan, which China views as its own territory, has been waiting for the U.S. to approve a new arms sale package which could be worth up to $14 billion.
U.S. Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao said at a Senate hearing that there is a pause in foreign military sales to Taiwan to ensure sufficient munitions for operations against Iran.
Taiwan's presidential office spokesperson Karen Kuo stated they had noted the remarks but had not received any relevant information about adjustments.
