Senators Curtis and Merkley today introduced the Taiwan Relations Reinforcement Act, bipartisan legislation that reaffirms U.S. policy to support Taiwan’s democracy and its engagement with the world. The bill, which was previously introduced by then-Senator Rubio, comes as Taiwan faces increasing military and diplomatic aggression from China.

On May 14th, Senator Curtis will deliver his first address from the Senate floor. In an opinion piece published in Deseret News, Curtis invited Utahns to help shape the content of his speech by sharing personal reflections and experiences tied to key American principles.

This week, Senator Curtis introduced the Uyghur Policy Act, legislation to confront and counter the ongoing human rights abuses by the Chinese Communist Party against the Uyghur people and other minority groups in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. The comprehensive bill outlines a series of diplomatic, humanitarian, and strategic actions to pressure the People’s Republic of China and support communities subjected to these abuses.
