By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Taiwan will reportedly purchase 400 U.S. land-launched Harpoon missiles, Reuters report.
On April 7, 2023, the U.S. announced the $1.17 billion contract for 400 anti-ship missiles but didn’t name the buyer.
However, several reports now indicate that Taiwan is the buyer.
Taiwan’s Defence Ministry noted that it had disclosed information regarding the purchase and was “confident” the deal would continue according to schedule.
Earlier this month, U.S. House Speaker, Kevin McCarthy hosted Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in California and stressed the need to accelerate arms deliveries to Taiwan in the face of rising threats from China.
