Bill > S3208

This bill codifies and reinforces the Six Assurances, a set of foreign policy principles established by the Reagan administration in 1982 regarding U.S. relations with Taiwan. The bill affirms that the United States will not set a date for ending arms sales to Taiwan, will not consult with China about arms sales to Taiwan, will not mediate between Taiwan and China, will not revise the Taiwan Relations Act, will not take a position on Taiwan's sovereignty, and will not pressure Taiwan to negotiate with China. The legislation requires the President to notify Congress before taking any actions that could significantly alter U.S. policy toward Taiwan, and establishes a congressional review process where Congress can approve or disapprove proposed actions through joint resolutions. The bill emphasizes that maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait is in the United States' political, security, and economic interests, and that Taiwan's future must be determined by peaceful means. By providing this framework, the bill aims to strengthen U.S. support for Taiwan and deter potential Chinese aggression, while maintaining the longstanding U.S. commitment to the One-China policy.
