U.S. Representative Michael McCaul said Tuesday that he hopes the United States and Taiwan can build a partnership focused on drone production and technology. The proposal would deepen cooperation in an area he views as important to regional security.
Speaking in Taipei, McCaul said a joint drone effort could create what he described as a “hornet’s nest” capable of deterring Chinese aggression. His comments linked expanded unmanned-systems cooperation with efforts to discourage potential military pressure from China.
The remarks point to possible collaboration between Washington and Taipei on both manufacturing and drone-related technology. No further details of the proposed partnership were provided in the available report.
