“Our relationship with Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific region is important. Taiwan is a key trading partner, and we want to keep working with them as we try to double our trade with countries outside the United States over the next 10 years.”
“Actually, Mr. Speaker, the member opposite is not accurately reflecting the importance we place on the Indo-Pacific region in general, including Taiwan, which is an important economic partner. We enjoy strong people-to-people ties with Taiwan, and we will continue to ensure that Taiwan continues to be an important economic partner for this country as we diversify trade and double non-U.S. trade over the next 10 years.”
