Taiwan puts $40 billion toward buying US weapons and building a defense dome

Taiwan’s President Lai Ching-te on Wednesday announced a special $40 billion budget for arms purchases, including to build an air defense system with high-level detection and interception capabilities called Taiwan Dome, as the US pressures the island to increase its defense spending.

The budget will be allocated over eight years, from 2026 to 2033, and comes after Lai already pledged to raise defense spending to 5 percent of the island’s GDP, as part of his strategy amid China’s threats of invasion.

    La spesa aggiuntiva sarebbe destinata a «acquisizioni significative di nuove armi dagli Stati Uniti, ma anche a migliorare notevolmente le capacità asimmetriche di Taiwan», ha dichiarato Lai al Washington Post.
