ReutersNov 25, 2025 11:40 PM
TAIPEI, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Taiwan will introduce a $40 billion supplementary defence budget to underscore its determination to defend itself, President Lai Ching-te said in a Washington Post op-ed essay.
"This landmark package will not only fund significant new arms acquisitions from the United States, but also vastly enhance Taiwan's asymmetrical capabilities," he wrote in the piece, which was published on Tuesday U.S. time.
"In doing so, we aim to bolster deterrence by inserting greater costs and uncertainties into Beijing's decision-making on the use of force."
