Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Richard E. Neal (D-MA) released the following statement after President Biden signed the United States-Taiwan Initiative on 21st-Century Trade First Agreement Implementation Act into law:

“The Taiwan Implementation Act underscores the exclusive Constitutional authority of Congress – and particularly the Ways and Means Committee – as the gatekeeper of our trade priorities. The legislation also deepens the economic ties between Taiwan and the United States, and as the aggression towards democracy from Taiwan’s authoritarian neighbor grows, it is critical that America’s trade policy reflects our determination to preserve democracy and peace at home and abroad. By signing this critical bipartisan bill into law, President Biden has done just that.”
