U.S. Republican Representative Michael McCaul has arrived in Taiwan, where he will meet with Taiwanese President Lai Ching-te and deliver a speech on Indo-Pacific security, demonstrating the firm bipartisan U.S. support for Taiwan.
McCaul stated at the Ketagalan Forum in Taipei that he is confident Trump will soon submit a $14 billion arms sale package for Taiwan to Congress.
Lai Ching-te met with Michael McCaul at the Presidential Office in Taiwan and presented him with a medal in recognition of his efforts in promoting U.S.-Taiwan relations and maintaining peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait.
In May 2026, US Representatives McGovern and McCaul jointly introduced a bill requiring the US Secretary of State to push the international community to grant a higher degree of political recognition and engagement to the Tibetan government-in-exile, the Central Tibetan Administration.
