Taiwan urges U.S. to sell it F-16 jets
The outgoing head of Taiwan's de facto embassy in Washington urged the United States on Tuesday to clear the sale of 66 F-16C/D fighters to the island.

"We believe that Taiwan's acquisition of additional F-16s ... will do much to enhance Taiwan's air defense and at the same time improve stability across the Taiwan Strait," Joseph Wu told Reuters in an emailed reply to a query.
