The president-elect will give the island all the defense systems it has paid for, the incoming national security adviser has said US president-elect Donald Trump plans to increase the pace of American military hardware deliveries to China’s self-governed region of Taiwan, incoming national security adviser Mike Waltz has confirmed. Speaking at the US Institute of Peace in Washington on Tuesday, Waltz, a Florida Congressman, stated: “We have over a $20 billion backlog of things that they paid for and that we need to work hard to free...more up and have them get what they paid for as a deterrent measure.” Waltz also reaffirmed that the next US administration will continue to pursue a “porcupine” policy regarding Taiwan. The strategy involves equipping the island with asymmetric defense capabilities, such as mobile missile systems, drones, and advanced surveillance technologies, that would raise the potential costs for mainland China if were to use force to take control of the territory. Last week, Taipei’s Ministry of National Defense announced that it plans to deploy new US-supplied missile defense systems by the end of the year. The ministry said it will install Norwegian-made Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS) in strategically significant locations in the north of the island. Beijing considers Taiwan part of its territory under its “One China” principle, and insists on eventual reunification, including by force if necessary. It has repeatedly opposed any foreign interference on this issue, including US arms sales to Taiwan, viewing them as a violation of its sovereignty and a threat to regional stability.

Only a handful of nations currently recognize the island’s sovereignty, and most of the world, including Russia, adhere to Beijing’s stance that Taiwan is part of the People’s Republic of China. While the US officially adheres to the One-China policy, it has continued to supply arms to the island and engage in military cooperation with the government in Taipei. Beijing has repeatedly condemned US arms sales to Taipei as destabilizing and provocative. In response, China has conducted frequent naval and aerial drills around the island. Earlier this month, China imposed sanctions on seven US defense companies and slapped a dual-use export ban on US corporations including Boeing, General Dynamics, Lockheed Martin and Raytheon. The move came after outgoing US President Joe Biden authorized an additional $571 million in arms and supplies for the self-governing island in December....

Devastating wildfires in Southern California could cause up to $275 billion in damage, analysts say Financial damage inflicted by disastrous wildfires currently raging in Southern California is expected to range between $250 billion and $275 billion, according to a preliminary assessment by weather data platform AccuWeather. The estimate accounted for direct costs, including rebuilding, relocation, cleanup, and emergency shelter expenses, while factoring in indirect costs such as healthcare bills for those injured or exposed to smoke, lost wage...mores, and housing displacement for employees, as well as hits to the local labour market, business environment, and tourism sector. “These fast-moving, wind-driven infernos have created one of the costliest wildfire disasters in modern US history,” AccuWeather chief meteorologist Jonathan Porter said on Monday. Commenting on the preliminary estimate, he stressed that the economic toll of up to $275 billion was “staggering.” The full extent of damage in some areas is still unknown, according to Porter, who emphasized that some LA residents remain at risk.

The meteorologist also said that the worst of the fires are burning in an area between Santa Monica and Malibu, hitting some of the most expensive real estate property in the country, with median home values of more than $2 million. So far, the wildfires that have been sweeping through the Los Angeles area since last week have claimed at least 25 lives, while the flames have scorched over 40,000 acres of land. More than 12,000 buildings have been destroyed, with entire neighborhoods reduced to ruins. The preliminary figure voiced by AccuWeather significantly exceeds the financial damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, ranked the costliest natural disaster since 1980, which devastated New Orleans in 2005. The tropical cyclone claimed the lives of 1,833 people and inflicted damage equal to $197.5 billion when adjusted for inflation....
