Sponsored By: Representative Perry, Scott [R-PA-10]

In Committee

Summary

Would treat Taiwan like a NATO Plus partner for U.S. defense sales and cooperation. The bill would create a five-year window for that special treatment and allow the Secretary of State to renew the arrangement for additional five-year periods if doing so is in U.S. national security interests.

Show full summary
  • Taiwan: Would be treated as if listed under specific Arms Export Control Act provisions for five years, affecting eligibility for U.S. defense articles and services.
  • U.S. defense sales and industry: The bill frames regularized defense cooperation. The bill cites Defense Security Cooperation Agency data that Taiwan was the largest Foreign Military Sales customer in FY2020 and notes about $41 billion in FMS since 2010 and $56 billion since 2001.
  • Secretary of State and oversight: The Secretary must determine continued application serves national security and must notify the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Senate Foreign Relations Committee at least 14 days before a new five-year period begins.
