Taiwan People's Party to Propose Revised Defense Budget After U.S. Meetings
DEFENSE
The Taiwan People's Party (TPP) plans to propose a revised defense budget following Chairman Huang Kuo-chang's discussions with U.S. officials in Washington, D.C. Huang criticized the government's NT$1.25 trillion budget for its lack of clarity and noted that a significant portion would not be allocated for U.S. arms purchases. The TPP, which has previously blocked the government's budget proposal multiple times, aims to ensure transparency and proper management of defense spending without requiring U.S. approval.
