Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
The U.S.-Taiwan Defense Innovation Partnership Act directs the Secretary of Defense to establish a formal strategic partnership with Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense to strengthen defense cooperation between the two countries. The partnership would focus on coordinating defense industrial priorities, expanding technology research and development, and creating market opportunities for defense companies in both nations—particularly in advanced areas like drones, microchips, artificial intelligence, and missile technology. The legislation aims to bolster Taiwan's defense capabilities while countering what it describes as adversarial development of defense technologies by China. The bill does not specify funding amounts or implementation timelines, leaving those details for the Defense Department to determine as it develops the partnership framework.
