Utawala wa Biden umeomba idhini Bunge la Congress kuruhusu kuiuzia Taiwan Makombora ya kuzamisha Meli, Makombora ya kulipua ndege pamoja na Rada za kisasa za uchunguzi kwenye dili la thamani ya Dola bilioni moja.
United States President Joe Biden plans to ask Congress to approve an estimated $1.1bn arms sale to the self-ruled island of Taiwan, including 60 anti-ship missiles and 100 air-to-air missiles, according to Politico.
The package, which is still in an early stage, includes 60 AGM-84L Harpoon Block II missiles for $355m, 100 AIM-9X Block II Sidewinder tactical air-to-air missiles for $85.6m, and $655.4m for a surveillance radar contract extension, three people familiar with the matter told the publication.
The Sidewinder missiles will be used to arm Taipei’s US-made F-16 fighter jets.
