Speaker McCarthy Holds a News Conference following his Meeting with the President of Taiwan

Speaker McCarthy is honored to meet with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen as she transits the United States.

At the Reagan library, there are countless exhibits that capture President Reagan’s patriotic spirit, belief in democracy, and commitment to the ideas of peace and freedom.

Those values have always served as the bedrock of our friendship with the people of Taiwan. And they are more important now than ever before. 

Taiwan is a successful democracy, thriving economy, and global leader in health and science. And whether it's our deep commercial ties, strong people-to-people relationships, or shared values, our cooperation with the people of Taiwan continues to expand through dialogue and exchange.

The friendship between the people of Taiwan and America is a matter of profound importance to the free world and is critical to maintaining economic freedom, peace, and regional stability.

We will honor our obligations and reiterate our commitment to our shared values, behind which all Americans are united.
