In response to the Legislative Yuan's failure to fully pass the special defense budget ordinance, President Lai Ching-te said the government will "mend the fences" by proposing a separate special ordinance, using supplementary budgets, and increasing the annual budget. This approach aims to facilitate commercial procurement, commissioned projects, and international cooperation, as well as to promote a self-reliant defense industry to produce unmanned land, sea, and air vehicles.
