🇹🇼 Taiwan's KMT just cut $15B from Lai's defense budget — including 210K drones, the T-Dome missile system, and all joint Taiwan-US R&D.
What's left: US weapons only. No indigenous defense. No self-reliance.
The US State Dept called it "a concession to the CCP."
KMT chair Cheng Li-wun met Xi Jinping in Beijing on April 10.
Less than a month later, her party canceled Taiwan's entire domestic weapons program.
The CCP has always argued that Taiwan's democracy is too dysfunctional to defend itself. The opposition just made their case.

.@SecRubio on Taiwan: We think it’s to the benefit of China, the United States, and the world writ large that there be stability in the straits there, and that continues to be our position, and that’s the one we’ll continue to stand by and advocate for.

Xi Jinping has ordered its military to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027. China has a plan. America should too.
I introduced the Deter PRC Aggression Against Taiwan Act to push back on the CCP & build America’s sanctions contingency plan before Beijing acts, not after.

@TruthTrumpPost You started an unprovoked war, killing hundreds of their little children and thousands of their people. You carry out murder against their leaders and inflicted massive destruction to their nation, leaving enormous pain and misery…Pirate like you can’t lecture the world
SEC RUBIO: We have a resolution at the United Nations that we're trying to move forward in which the world and the UN will have an opportunity through the Security Council to vote and say we are not going to allow them to mine the Straits.
We're not going to allow them to try to control the Straits.

SECRETARY RUBIO: We have a UN resolution in which the world will have the opportunity to vote and say that they are not going to allow Iran to control the Strait.
If a country decides to veto, then you know what the impediment is.

🚨SECRETARY RUBIO: Every country needs to ask themselves if they are going to normalize a country claiming to control an international waterway.
If the answer is no, then they’d better have something more than strongly worded statements to back it up.
🚨Vladimir Putin: "We will sell our oil to whomever we want. We do not need anyone's permission to sell Russia's oil, and we are not under anyone's control."
