WASHINGTON — Speaker Mike Johnson released the following statement after Lai Ching-te (William Lai) was elected by the Taiwanese people to be the next President of Taiwan.
Earlier this week, Speaker Johnson met with Taiwan’s Ambassador to the U.S. Alexander Yui and conveyed his support for security and democracy in Taiwan.
“We congratulate William Lai on his election as the next President of Taiwan and we are happy to see democracy thriving among the Taiwanese people. The United States is eager to work with President-elect Lai and build on the strong partnership we’ve enjoyed with President Tsai,” Speaker Mike Johnson said. “To underscore the ongoing commitment of Congress to security and democracy, I will be asking the chairs of the relevant House Committees to lead a delegation to Taipei following Lai’s inauguration in May. I am hopeful the United States and Taiwan together will continue promoting the principles of liberty, opportunity and security for all freedom-loving countries and our partners in the Indo-Pacific.” ### |
