Trump adviser Waltz says he wants to speed up Taiwan weapon deliveries

U.S. Congressman Mike Waltz, the incoming national security adviser for President-elect Donald Trump, said on Tuesday he wants to speed up deliveries of weapons purchased by Taiwan to deter threats from China.

"We have over a $20 billion backlog of things that they've paid for and that we need to work hard to free up and have them get what they paid for as a deterrent," said Waltz at an event in Washington.
