“It’s in our national and regional security interests to firmly support Taiwan, a valued ally of the United States. Congress must continue to closely monitor the CCP’s hostile acts against our democratic ally and remain firm in our strategy to deter any aggression against Taiwan.”
“As the Committee on Foreign Relations favorably reported the bipartisan International Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act, we are reminded of the urgent global crisis that human trafficking represents. This bill will provide important tools to better combat this crime and hold perpetrators accountable. I urge my Senate colleagues to swiftly pass this legislation.”— Senator Rubio

Senator Gary Peters (D-MI) is an original cosponsor. Representatives Chris Smith (R-NJ) and Brad Schneider (D-IL) led the House companion.
