senate 03/12/2025 - 119th Congress

We're working with the Secretary of State to negotiate a name change for the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office to the "Taiwan Representative Office." This aims to provide Taiwan with a level of diplomatic recognition similar to that of other nations while maintaining our current international relations and policies.

It's diplomacy 101: make friends, not enemies, but do we need the paperwork to strut about it?
