Codifying Six Assurances to Taiwan and Mandating Congressional Review.

This bill formally writes the long-standing "Six Assurances" regarding Taiwan into US law, ensuring the US maintains its commitment to Taiwan's defense and avoids pressuring it into negotiations with China. Crucially, it requires the President to seek Congressional approval (within 30 or 60 days) before taking any action that would violate these assurances. This aims to increase the stability and predictability of US foreign policy in the Indo-Pacific, indirectly supporting US economic and national security interests.
Key points
Formalizes US commitments not to limit defensive arms sales to Taiwan or mediate sovereignty disputes with China.
Establishes a Congressional review mechanism: the President must notify Congress and gain approval before halting arms sales or changing the US position on Taiwan's sovereignty.
