Washington and Beijing had worried that a sharp deterioration in relations, several delays to sell F-16. Taiwan’s defense department in 2007 ordered 66 F-16, but the U.S. President George W. Bush when he refused to discuss the deal. Since then Taiwan has repeatedly urged the U.S. supply, but the U.S. has refused the sale of these aircraft.
