International News: Taiwan to purchase 400 U.S. land-launched missiles

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.
