TAIPEI -- The U.S. might delay deliveries of crucial military hardware to Taiwan as Washington focuses on arming Ukraine in its conflict with Russia, the Taiwanese defense ministry said Tuesday.
Taiwan is supposed to receive 250 Stinger surface-to-air missiles in phased shipments by March 2026. But "there is certainly a risk of a delay in this year's deliveries due to changes in the international situation," a Ministry of National Defense official told reporters.
