"US Lawmakers' Taiwan Visit Raises Concerns Over Ukraine and Aid Package"

Taiwanese officials express concerns to a visiting U.S. congressional delegation about the potential impact of stalled aid to Ukraine on U.S. commitments to defend Taiwan from Chinese aggression. The deadlock in Congress over aid to Ukraine has frozen U.S. military assistance to Kyiv, raising worries for Taiwan, which relies on U.S. arms to deter Chinese threats. The delegation reassured Taiwan of bipartisan congressional support and discussed creative solutions to expedite arms deliveries, including co-producing defense technology in Taiwan. Additionally, reports emerged that the Starshield network, a military version of Elon Musk's Starlink, is denying service to Taiwan, prompting efforts to confirm and address the issue with SpaceX.
