台湾总理说预算拮据使得美国要求提高国防开支的要求不现实。 Taiwanese Premier says budget constraints make US calls for higher defense spending unrealistic.

台湾总理Cho Jung-tai说,由于预算拮据,将国防开支增加到国内生产总值的10%是不可能的。 Taiwanese Premier Cho Jung-tai said increasing defense spending to 10% of GDP is impossible due to budget constraints. 尽管美国呼吁增加国防开支,台湾仍计划在2025年花费国内生产总值的2.5%左右,尽管潜艇和无人驾驶飞机等项目已被削减或冻结。 Despite US calls for higher defense spending, Taiwan plans to spend about 2.5% of GDP in 2025, though some items like submarine and drone programs have been cut or frozen. 台湾目前的军费开支高于美国的建议,但预算分配效率低下,例如军官人数过多,妨碍了效力。 Taiwan's current military spending is higher than US recommendations, but inefficiencies in budget allocation, such as excessive officer numbers, hamper effectiveness. 政府的目标是通过特别预算将支出提高到国内生产总值的3%,同时处理采购战略和监督问题。 The government aims to raise spending to 3% of GDP through special budgets, while addressing procurement strategy and oversight.
