Taiwan plans additional 3.9 billion euros for Defense spending in 2026

SAPO4 September 2026 at 02:53

Taiwan's government proposed on Thursday an additional increase of 145.7 billion Taiwanese dollars, equivalent to approximately 3.95 billion euros, in Defense spending. This value represents a significant reinforcement of the island's military budget.

The Taiwanese executive justifies this increase with the need to "strengthen the defensive combat capability" of the territory. The proposal comes in a context of geopolitical tensions in the Asia-Pacific region.

According to the report, this additional funding will be allocated to strengthen Taiwan's defensive military capabilities, although the article does not specifically detail which areas or programs this money will be invested in.

Logistical nightmare: Iran's attacks on US bases force American ships to travel 3,500 or 5,900 km for refueling

The nuclear aircraft carrier USS Abraham Lincoln docked in Thailand after a record nine-month mission without port calls, marked by complex logistics disrupted by Iran's attacks on US bases in the Middle East, forcing American ships to travel distances of 3,500 or 5,900 kilometers for resupply. About 5,000 sailors and Marines will have five days of rest in Pattaya after prolonged operations, during which there were complaints about deteriorating conditions on board. Normally, an aircraft carrier would visit a port about once a month to provide the crew with rest.

Earth in turmoil: Glacier melting opens debate on climate injustice

The devastating avalanche at the border between Nepal and Tibet at the end of August, with more than a thousand deaths and 4,200 missing, has rekindled the global alert about accelerated glacier melting in mountainous regions around the world, including tourist cities in South America. Although scientists still need to prove the direct relationship of the disaster to climate change, the event has already boosted the debate about climate injustice — a concept that points to how populations of poorer countries disproportionately suffer the effects of the climate crisis, despite having contributed less to it. Researchers warn that soot from air pollution accelerates glacier melting and may have aggravated the tragedy in Nepal.
