Taiwan would get military equipment faster and allies could see quicker transfer options.
This bill would make it faster for Taiwan to get military equipment from the U.S. by giving it the same quick review process as other close allies. It also asks the State Department to study how to speed up military equipment transfers from other allied countries to Taiwan. These changes would last for seven years.
Today, Taiwan does not get shorter review periods for U.S. arms exports, and there's no specific fast-track process for allies to transfer military equipment to Taiwan. If this bill becomes law, Taiwan would be included in the list of countries that get shorter certification and reporting periods for U.S. arms exports. The Secretary of State would also study if a faster process for allies to transfer equipment to Taiwan is possible, potentially aiming for 15-day or 30-day review times for licensing applications.
