US Arms Sales to Taiwan Paused Amid Iran War Munitions Concerns

Washington has placed a $14 billion weapons package to Taiwan on hold, with the acting US Navy secretary citing the need to preserve munitions for ongoing Iran operations and a fragile ceasefire. This development signals a potential strategic realignment as Trump meets Xi Jinping and describes Taiwan arms deals as a 'negotiating chip,' leaving a key democratic ally increasingly exposed amid rising Chinese pressure. Scripture warns of a time when nations will be shaken and alliances will fail, pointing to the instability that precedes the final conflict described in Revelation 16:12–16.
