US lawmakers step up pressure on Taiwan parliament to approve defence spending
Un gruppo bipartisan di 37 legislatori statunitensi ha scritto ai politici taiwanesi per sollecitare l’approvazione immediata delle spese per la difesa, dopo che il Parlamento di Taipei ha rimandato il voto su un pacchetto di finanziamenti necessari per potenziare le forze armate, un’azione che rischia di indebolire la capacità di difesa dell’isola di fronte alle crescenti tensioni con la Cina.
TAIPEI, Feb 13 (Reuters) - A bipartisan group of 37 U.S. lawmakers have written to senior Taiwanese politicians expressing concern about parliament stalling proposed defence spending, saying that the threat posed by China has never been greater. Taiwan President Lai Ching-te last year proposed $40 billion in extra defence spending to counter China, which views the island as its own territory. But the opposition, which has a majority in parliament, has refused to review the proposal and instead advanced its own, less expensive proposals, which only fund the purchase of some of the U.S. weapons Lai wants. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
