TAIPEI, Taiwan — Taiwan on Saturday defended a proposal to purchase $2.2 billion in arms from the U.S., following a Chinese announcement that it would sanction any American companies involved in the deal.
China announced late Friday that it would impose sanctions on any U.S. enterprises involved in the deal, saying it"undermines China's sovereignty and national security." The Trump administration announced the proposed $2.2 billion sale, which would include 108 Abrams tanks and 250 Stinger surface-to-air missiles, earlier in the week.
