The United States approved a $180m sale of heavyweight torpedoes to Taiwan, the State Department said on Wednesday, in a move that is likely to further strain ties between Washington and Beijing, which claims Taiwan as its own.
Approval for submarine-launched weapon sale comes on same day President Tsai Ing-wen was inaugurated for a second term.
The US framed the sale as a mutually beneficial transaction.
