F-16 fighter jets to Taiwan, a deal that would take the island's F-16 fleet to more than 200 jets, the largest in Asia, to strengthen its defences in the face of a stepped up threat from China, which claims Taiwan as its own.

Lockheed Martin said in an emailed statement it "is working closely with the U.S. Government to address challenges in support of U.S. security cooperation objectives". It did not elaborate.
