Jeffries Statement on Meeting with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-Wen

April 5, 2023

New York – House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) released this statement following a meeting with the President of Taiwan during her recent transit through New York City:

"Last week, I met President Tsai during her transit through New York City. We had a very productive conversation about the mutual security and economic interests between America and Taiwan. We also discussed our shared commitment to democracy and freedom. I wish President Tsai a safe return as she transits through California and travels back to Taiwan."

The meeting in New York between President Tsai and Leader Jeffries is consistent with and represents no deviation from the longstanding unofficial relationship between the United States and Taiwan.
