This decision is based on Egypt&#8217;s failure to show improvement in areas that are prerequisites for receiving the aid. The Wall \u200dStreet Journal reports that the Biden administration will withhold \u2062$85 million in aid, but some lawmakers are pushing for an additional $235 million to be withheld as well. \u200dThe deadline for authorization to withhold the aid is September 30th.<\/p>\n<p>According to US officials, this \u2062move is a response to Egypt&#8217;s lack \u200dof progress in human rights and other issues.\u2062 However, the amount being redirected to Taiwan is only a small percentage of the $1.3 \u2063billion that the US provides to \u200dEgypt annually.<\/p>\n<p>In\u200c addition to Taiwan, the White House is planning to redirect $55 million to Lebanon. Taiwan is currently facing threats from China, while Lebanon is in the process of rebuilding after\u200b a massive explosion in Beirut in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan is expected to \u2064use the redirected aid to \u2063purchase 400 \u2064Harpoon anti-ship missiles from the US. These \u2062missiles can help defend against a possible invasion by China. Representative Mike Gallagher, Chairman of the House Select Committee on China, has been advocating\u200b for providing Taiwan with weapons. He believes \u200dthat the \u200cUS needs to act quickly \u200cto\u200c strengthen its presence in the Indo-Pacific\u2063 region before it is too late.<\/p>\n<p>Gallagher suggests\u200d prioritizing Taiwan over countries like Saudi Arabia when it comes to delivering Harpoon missiles.\u2062 He also proposes exploring the possibility of licensing certain \u200bweapons systems to Taiwan, allowing them to produce them domestically.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, Biden&#8217;s decision to redirect military aid from Egypt to Taiwan highlights\u200b the growing tensions between Taiwan and China, as well as the importance of\u200d Taiwan&#8217;s defense capabilities. It remains to be seen how this decision will impact the relationship between the US, China, Taiwan, and Egypt in the long\u200b run.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese military helicopters fly over Pingtan island, near Taiwan, in Fujian province on August 4, 2022.
