U.S. pauses $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan

The U.S. paused a $14 billion arms sale to Taiwan because of the war in Iran, Hung Cao, acting secretary of the U.S. Navy, announced Thursday. Cao said the U.S. must ensure it retains the munitions needed to fight Iran. But many noted that the decision came after President Donald Trump’s visit with Chinese General Secretary Xi Jinping. Originally, the U.S. said it would not consult China about the arms deal, but Trump said before his meeting with Xi that they would indeed discuss the sale. Based on Bible prophecy, Trumpet editor in chief Gerald Flurry has warned that China will succeed in conquering Taiwan “for one reason: because of a pitifully weak-willed America.”
