Two U.S. lawmakers said they discussed the possibility of bringing Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite system into Taiwan with President Tsai Ing-wen, to help Taipei’s deterrence against China.
U.S. House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul and Arkansas Rep. French Hill, among a congressional delegation visiting Taipei, said it was one of the “constructive takeaways” in their talks with Tsai on Saturday.
Taiwan’s presidential office said it had no comment on Starlink. It issued a statement saying McCaul and his delegation met with Taiwanese leaders from various industries including semiconductors and aerospace technology.
