US Senator Roger Wicker, after meeting Taiwan's representative Alexander Yui Tah-ray, reaffirmed the Reagan-era 'Six Assurances' position that Washington should not consult Beijing before arms sales to Taiwan. The statement pushes back against any suggestion that US weapons transfers need Chinese approval, reinforcing long-standing US policy commitments to Taipei amid ongoing cross-strait tensions.
Why now: Ongoing US-China tensions over Taiwan make statements on arms sales policy newly relevant.
