US President Barack Obama has informed Congress that he will approve the sale of weapons to Taiwan.

The White House opened discussions about the arms sale last week in a series of secret talks on Capitol Hill. Those talks are continuing this week.

Congressional sources have told the Taipei Times that a public announcement detailing the weapons involved will be made soon — possibly before the end of this month.
