A high-stakes diplomatic dispute has emerged over allegations that the U.S. administration delayed the approval of a major $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan, raising concerns about potential concessions to China. Officials have firmly rejected claims of any deliberate postponement, insisting the process follows standard review procedures. The controversy comes amid heightened tensions between Washington and Beijing over Taiwan’s security and U.S. support for the island. Critics argue the timing of the decision could undermine trust in America’s commitment to its allies in the region.
