Washington on Wednesday announced US$11.1 billion in potential arms sales to Taiwan, the largest-ever US weapons package to the nation.

It is the second announcement of arms sales to Taiwan by US President Donald Trump’s administration since he returned to the White House in January.

The proposed sales would cover eight items, including High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS), howitzers, Javelin anti-tank missiles, Altius loitering munition drones and parts for other equipment, the Ministry of National Defense said in a statement.
