【US Senator Duckworth: No Matter Who Governs the US, It Must Stand Up for Taiwan】US Senator Duckworth visited Taiwan again on the 28th and met with Lai and Hsiao. It is reported that this is her fifth visit to Taiwan in the past four years.
According to local media reports, Duckworth told Lai that no matter who or which party governs Washington, if the US wants to continue to play the role of a global leader, it must "stand up for friends like Taiwan".
Duckworth even said that Taiwan plays an "important leadership role" in the Indo-Pacific region and on the world stage, which is a "high praise" rarely seen in US-Taiwan exchanges.
Lai expressed to US lawmakers that Taiwan is actively enhancing its "social defense resilience" and committed to "defense reform". In the future, Taiwan will continue to strengthen cooperation with the US to jointly maintain regional peace and stability and expects to create more opportunities through the "Taiwan-US trade connection". Analysts believe that Lai's invitation for Duckworth to visit Taiwan is not only to suppress the growing "anti-American sentiment" in Taiwan in recent times but also because Lai lacks direct communication channels with the Trump team. He hopes Duckworth can act as a messenger to demonstrate the goodwill of the DPP authorities in helping the US become great again.
