S 2057 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to require the Secretary of Defense to deliver on foreign military sales to Taiwan.

S 2057 requires the U.S. Secretary of Defense to prioritize delivering defense articles and services contracted to Taiwan under the foreign military sales program ahead of similar items for other customers. This directly affects Taiwan, which receives defense equipment, and the Secretary of Defense, who must manage these deliveries. The bill mandates this prioritization only if the Government of Taiwan concurs, and explicitly prohibits delaying deliveries to Ukraine or Israel by applying this rule. The key provision ensures Taiwan’s specific contracts are fulfilled faster than equivalent sales to other nations, while safeguarding existing commitments to Ukraine and Israel.
