Some here saw this coming, because Trump is more interested in making MONEY off China.

Trump freezes Taiwan arms deal as leverage in links to China

President Donald Trump has suspended a proposed $14bn arms sale to Taiwan, positioning the package as a bargaining tool in negotiations with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping and warning Taipei against pursuing independence.

In an interview with the right wing Fox News after his visit last week to Beijing, Trump said the deal remained under review and had not yet been approved. The 79-year-old indicated it was being held back pending developments in relations with China, describing it as a significant lever given the scale of the weapons involved.

Taiwan’s government says US hasn’t notified it of any pause in a planned $14B arms sale

You don't even need to be an old phart, to remember how Trump the God held up an arms sale to Ukraine, to try and extort Ukraine into fabricating "dirt" on Hunter Biden.

Sorry, but you guys just don't grasp the complexity and subtlety on the part of President Trump.

5-D chess at its finest.

Except that here, Trump is not asking for any favor from Taiwan, right?

i rate it near unthinkable that trump breaks his promise if taiwan coughs up a bit more to the american defense industry.
personal bribes may also work.

frankly, taiwan should try to put up a very large trump statue on prominent westside beachhead.
very large, made of pig iron, but painted a gold color.
