Naerly half of U.S. Senate want Obama to sell F-16s to Taiwan

45 members of the U.S. Senate have written to President Obama urging him to clear the sale of F-16C/Ds to Taiwan.

“Without new fighter aircraft and upgrades to its existing fleet of F-16s, Taiwan will be dangerously exposed to Chinese military threats, aggression and provocation, which pose significant national security implications for the United States,” the letter stated.
