MOFA on defense budget
Posted on 2026-05-11 12:46:13
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs says, the U.S. is hoping that Taiwan will
increase military spending from just the 780 billion NT special budget passed
by the legislature on Friday.

Minister Lin Chia-lung said the U.S. is hoping that the legislature will- in
his words- "rectify" the situation.

In particular, the minister added, the U.S. side was unhappy with the KMT/TPP
version of the defense bill's complete exclusion of commercial procurement
and commissioned projects.

Lin emphasized that Washington hoped that Taiwan would do more to support the
defense budget, particularly given its position in the liminal island chain.

Meanwhile premier Zhuo Rong Tai said the government would certainly take
action to bring back the public's and international partners' trust in
Taiwan.
