Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, who has been nominated by President-elect Donald Trump for the position of secretary of state, emphasized his commitment to maintaining the longstanding US policy towards Taiwan during his Senate confirmation hearing. Rubio highlighted his role as the lead Republican sponsor in reauthorizing the Taiwan Relations Act, a key legislation governing US-Taiwan relations.
He underscored that multiple US presidential administrations, spanning both parties, have consistently upheld the policies outlined in the Taiwan Relations Act and the Six Assurances. These policies, reaffirmed by the Trump administration and now the incoming Biden administration, form the cornerstone of US-Taiwan relations.
