Congresswoman McClain Urges Biden Administration to Pursue Free Trade Agreement with Taiwan

Press Release

Today, Congresswoman Lisa McClain (R-MI) led a letter to President Biden urging his administration to pursue a formal free trade agreement with Taiwan. 22 of her colleagues joined McClain's letter.

"A free trade agreement with Taiwan would not only open up new opportunities for Michigan's manufacturing and agriculture industries, it would also allow Taiwan to become less reliant on Communist China," said Rep. McClain. "A free trade agreement with Taiwan would show our allies in the region that the United States is committed to working with our partners in the Indo-Pacific region to counter the Chinese Communist Party's growing influence and territorial advances. We must show our allies that they are not alone in that fight."

The following members of Congress signed the letter: Reps. John Curtis (R-UT), Ashley Hinson (R-IA), Ralph Norman (R-SC), Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), Randy Feenstra (R-IA), Young Kim (R-CA), Matt Gaetz (R-FL), Kat Cammack (R-FL), Burgess Owens (R-UT), Rick Crawford (R-AR), Claudia Tenney (R-NY), Scott Franklin (R-FL), Barry Moore (R-AL), Elise Stefanik (R-NY), Jeff Van Drew (R-NJ), John Rutherford (R-FL), Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA), Bruce Westerman (R-AR), Stephanie Bice (R-OK), Carlos Gimenez (R-FL), Tom Emmer (R-MN) and Tracey Mann (R-KS).
