Joe Biden recently signed off on a grant with $80M that goes straight to Taiwan enabling them to spend the money on American military equipment. The $80M might not sound like a huge sum, but it’s not a loan, it’s real American’s tax dollars. This is the first time the US has used tax funds (its own money) to give to a country it doesn’t officially recognize. China has already spoken out against this action, while on the other hand Taiwan is appreciative at the United States’ effort.
