During a press conference held by the American Institute in Taiwan (AIT) Director Sandra Oudkirk on June 14, 2024, concerns were raised over the delay of nearly $20 billion in US arms sales to Taiwan. The US defense supply chain has been impacted by the pandemic, with efforts underway to restore operations for the swift delivery of weapons purchased by Taiwan. Oudkirk emphasized the importance of Taiwan's self-defense capabilities and potential for the country's advanced manufacturing to join the US defense supply chain in the future, noting that cooperation is a priority despite internal disagreements within the US on various issues.
