PoliticsFirst U.S. F-16Vs arrive in Taiwan, representative calls delivery encouraging

The first two long-delayed U.S. F-16V fighter jets arrived in Taiwan after the “Trump-Xi meeting.” Taiwan’s representative to the United States, Yu Da-lei, said Washington’s accelerated delivery of previously purchased arms was encouraging. He stressed that U.S. arms sales should match the threat China poses to Taiwan, as Chinese military aircraft and vessels operate around the Taiwan Strait almost daily.
