Bill > S1588

This bill, the Taiwan Relations Reinforcement Act of 2025, is designed to strengthen the United States' relationship with Taiwan by establishing a comprehensive policy framework that addresses diplomatic, economic, and security concerns. The bill creates an Interagency Taiwan Policy Task Force to coordinate government efforts, mandates the appointment of a Senate-confirmed Director for the American Institute in Taiwan, and seeks to promote Taiwan's inclusion in international organizations. It explicitly opposes any unilateral attempts by the People's Republic of China (PRC) to impose unification with Taiwan and prohibits U.S. government agencies from recognizing PRC sovereignty claims over Taiwan without the democratic consent of Taiwan's people. The bill also aims to counter what it describes as "sharp power" operations by the Chinese government, including efforts to censor or influence U.S. businesses and organizations regarding Taiwan. Additionally, it calls for increased military cooperation, encourages the negotiation of a free-trade agreement, and requires various reports assessing Taiwan's deterrence capabilities, resilience against foreign influence, and the overall U.S.-Taiwan relationship. The legislation emphasizes Taiwan's democratic values and seeks to support its meaningful participation in global forums while maintaining the existing U.S. diplomatic stance.
