Cornyn. \u201cThis legislation would help reinstate a strong Taiwan strategy at the State Department at a time when we need it most, and I\u2019m glad it is now headed to President Trump\u2019s desk for signature.\u201d\n\n\u201cWhen I traveled to Taiwan earlier this year, I saw first-hand its importance for securing a free and open Indo-Pacific,\u201d said Sen. Coons. \u201cCongress has long supported strong United States-Taiwan relations. The Taiwan Assurance Act continues that tradition by supporting our shared values and reinforcing stability in the region, and I\u2019m glad to see the Senate take up and pass this crucial bill.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:52:45Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.cornyn.senate.gov/news/cornyn-coons-bill-to-strengthen-state-departments-taiwan-strategy-passes-senate/"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.461448147892952, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
