The United States has announced a 567-million dollar military aid package for
Taiwan-- in the largest such package to date.

The aid is being provided under a Presidential Drawdown Authority, which
allows the U-S to send equipment and weapons from existing stocks to its
allied partners in crises.

In a statement from the White House, President Joe Biden delegated the
Secretary of State to "direct the drawdown in defense articles and services
of the Department of Defense, and military education and training, to provide
assistance to Taiwan."

The statement doesn't provide any specific details about this arms package.

However, Defense News last week cited an unnamed U-S official as saying the
package would "fund training, stockpiles, anti-armor weapons, air defense,
and multi-domain awareness."

The same report said the Pentagon is currently working on another aid package
for Taiwan, and the Biden administration plans to complete that... before its
term ends in January next year.
