Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This resolution reaffirms Congress's support for the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979 and the bipartisan U.S. policy toward Taiwan that has guided relations for decades. The resolution emphasizes that the U.S. will continue providing Taiwan with defensive military capabilities, opposes any use of force or coercion against Taiwan, and will not pressure Taiwan into negotiations with China against its will. The measure also recognizes Taiwan's role as a thriving democracy and important economic partner to the United States. Introduced by a bipartisan group of House members in May 2026, this resolution is a statement of congressional intent rather than binding legislation and contains no new funding or specific timelines. The resolution essentially reasserts existing U.S. policy commitments to Taiwan without creating new obligations or appropriations.
