Sen. Wicker: Accelerate U.S. Security Assistance to Taiwan

Senator Roger Wicker (R., Miss.) is expected to make a full-throated case on the Senate floor today for accelerating U.S. security assistance to Taiwan, according to excerpts of the speech obtained in advance by National Review.

“I am calling on the Biden administration to work with us to accelerate the transfer, financing, and sale of a key set of military capabilities to Taiwan,” Wicker is expected to say. “The president needs to use the authority that Congress provided to transfer $1 billion in weapons to accelerate the expansion of our training programs with Taiwan.”
