Taiwan says more US arms sales are in the pipeline

More US arms sales to Taiwan are in the pipeline with four deals yet to be notified to Congress, a senior Taiwanese defence official said on Thursday, following the announcement of an $11 billion package last month, the largest ever for the island.

The United States is Taiwan's most important international backer and arms supplier, despite the lack of formal diplomatic ties. China, which claims Taiwan as its territory, held war games around the island in late December after the latest deal was announced.
