Fox News
Congressional Republicans plan to introduce legislation to lease weapons and other military equipment to Taiwan to counter aggression from communist China.
"The Chinese Communist Party continues to intimidate and pressure our ally and the United States should always be on the side of freedom and democracy," said Steel, R-Calif.
The bill would authorize the president to lend or lease weapons and military equipment to the Taiwan. In exchange, the country's government is required to repay the cost of "restoring or replacing" the borrowed weapons over a 12-year time frame.
