Taiwan Signs Six Major Arms Deals With US Worth About $6.6 Billion

Taiwan recently signed six arms deals with the US worth about $6.6 billion as the Trump administration is pushing ahead with major weapons sales to the island despite warnings from China.

According to Taiwan’s Defense Ministry, the agreements, which include a contract for HIMARS rocket systems, were signed earlier this month by the US’s de facto embassy in Taiwan, the American Institute in Taiwan, and Taiwan’s defense mission in the US, which is part of Taipei’s de facto embassy in Washington.

The contracts appear to be a partial fulfillment of a massive $11 billion weapons package the Trump administration approved in December 2025, a figure greater than the $8.4 billion in arms sold to Taiwan during the entire Biden administration.
