Ahead of President Trump’s summit with China’s President Xi Jinping, Senators Curtis, member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Bennet, member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, led 10 colleagues on a letter to Secretary of State Rubio affirming congressional support for the Taiwan Relations Act and asserting there should be no unilateral changes to this policy nor any new U.S. declaratory policy on Taiwan.

Senators Curtis, member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Shaheen, Ranking Member, released the below statement welcoming the approval by Taiwan’s Legislative Yuan of a supplementary defense budget that will strengthen Taiwan’s deterrence capabilities against growing People’s Republic of China aggression. The vote follows a visit to Taipei by the senators five weeks ago, in which they met LY leaders and urged support for the package.

Senator Curtis cosponsored legislation that would improve education transparency by ensuring that reported graduation rates accurately reflect the success of community colleges. The Time for Completion Act requires colleges and universities to report graduation and completion rates for a broader range of students, including non-first-time and part-time students.
