The United States has approved a possible $95 million sale of military equipment, training, and other items to Taiwan to boost the self-ruled island’s air defenses, the Pentagon said on Tuesday.

The U.S. Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DCSA) said it had delivered the required certification notifying Congress of the possible sale, which was requested by the Taipei Economic Cultural Representative Office in Washington.
