SECRETARY RUBIO: The U.S. policy on the issue of Taiwan is unchanged as of today. China always raises it on their side and we always make clear our position and move on to other topics.
Sanibonani! I arrived in #Eswatini today to affirm our longstanding friendship. #Taiwan will never be deterred by external pressures. Our resolve & commitment are underpinned by the understanding that Taiwan will continue to engage with the world—no matter the challenges faced.
Today is the 47th anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act. It has for almost five decades ensured Taiwan’s security and bolstered U.S. interests in the Indo-Pacific. The TRA still stands today as a bulwark against Chinese Communist Party aggression.
Pleased to meet with the @RepublicanStudy delegation led by National Security Task Force Chair @ZachNunn & thank the #US Congress for its staunch support. Pursuing peace through strength, #Taiwan will continue to enhance its self-defense & contribute to regional security.
Honored to host @SenatorBanks for his visit to #Taiwan. His support for our defense is unwavering. We’re also deeply committed to our self-defense through investment & resilience. Together, we will safeguard peace & security in the #IndoPacific.
🇹🇼❤️🇺🇸
Today, Taiwan's proud tradition of democratic elections is thirty years old. And the freedoms its people enjoy stand in stark contrast to the repression of CCP rule on the mainland. As Taiwan continues to strengthen its self-defense, U.S. should continue to support our friend.

Appreciate the #US-#Japan summit reaffirmed the importance of peace & stability across the #TaiwanStrait. Heartening to see that the two world leaders, @realDonaldTrump & @Takaichi_Sanae, care about #Taiwan's freedom from #China’s threat & coercion.
🇹🇼🤝🇯🇵🤝🇺🇸
Delighted to see my writing published in @WSJopinion. In it, I underscore the several truths the war in Iran has reaffirmed about global politics and examine the implications of a transformed, more Western-friendly Iran for the region and beyond.
How is the Iran War hitting campus? In this week’s Future View column, students discuss the conflict in the Middle East and if military intervention is justified.

This morning, many of us in #Taiwan watched with racing hearts as @AlexHonnold climbed Taipei 101. My congratulations to Alex on this remarkable feat, and heartfelt thanks to everyone behind the scenes—today, the world saw not only 101, but also the spirit & beauty of Taiwan. 🧗
Congratulations to @AlexHonnold on your historic free solo climb of #Taipei101. We watched in awe and nerves. Thank you for coming to #Taiwan, inspiring the world, and showing what’s possible when you stay true to your dream.
Huge congratulations to @AlexHonnold for conquering #Taipei101! 🧗♂️🇹🇼
Your legendary spirit of exploration reached new heights in the heart of Taiwan. We are honored to witness this breathtaking feat on our iconic skyline. True courage knows no limits!

Congratulations to @AlexHonnold on your historic free solo ascent of the Taipei 101! Thank you for coming to #Taiwan & showing the world that, with courage & a dream, anything is possible.
Today, #Taiwan & the #US reached a landmark agreement lowering tariffs on Taiwanese goods to 15%. We'll also see boosted economic integration, high-tech collaboration & two-way investments across key sectors, paving the way for a stronger partnership & more prosperous future.
We're with Australian & Jewish communities who are affected and pained by the Bondi Beach anti-semetic attacks during Hanukkah. Acts of violence & terrorism have no place in the world today & must be condemned.
Greatly appreciate that the #US National Security Strategy prioritizes deterring a conflict over Taiwan & highlights the security of the First Island Chain. #Taiwan will continue to be a reliable partner deeply committed to strengthening our self-defense to uphold regional peace.
The @ChingteLai Administration’s new budget is a serious investment in Taiwan’s deterrence capabilities. It will improve security for Taiwan and strengthen Taiwan’s partnership with the U.S. Our goal is peace through strength, and this new budget will help make that happen.
