Taiwanese security officials said that while specific arms arrangements have not yet been determined, Taipei is ready to actively cooperate and take into account recommendations to strengthen the island's defense.

This issue becomes relevant against the backdrop of Trump's statements about the need for Taiwan's financial participation in ensuring its own security.

According to the Financial Times, the Taipei government is considering a large-scale contract for the purchase of American weapons, which may emphasize Taiwan's determination to strengthen its defense against the threats from China.

Given the situation, Taiwan plans to focus on strengthening its self-defense capabilities and hopes that negotiations with the new US administration will help in this direction.
