House Passes Foreign Military Financing For Indo-Pacific Partners

This week, the House of Representatives passed legislation funding the State Department and the Treasury Department for 2026. The legislation includes critical funding for the government’s effort to partner with Taiwan and allies in the Indo-Pacific.

“In the past month, the free people of Taiwan have endured cyberattacks and aggressive PLA military exercises. This legislation provides Taiwan with more support, helps it invest in its own defense, and reinforces last month’s historic arms sale by the Trump Administration. We must urgently deliver weapons to Taiwan to deter conflict in 2027 and beyond,” said Select Committee on China Chairman John Moolenaar, who is also a member of the Appropriations Committee and its subcommittee on State Department programs.

The legislation passed by the House today includes:

• $2.3 billion in foreign military financing grants and loans for Taiwan
• $100 million for foreign military financing for the Philippines
• $400 million for Countering PRC Influence Fund
• $35.9 million to the American Institute in Taiwan
• $4 million for U.S. – China Economic and Security Review Commission
• $2.3 million for Congressional Executive Commission on China
• Enhanced funding for Treasury’s Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence
