AI Summary

  • Codifies into law the Six Assurances originally provided by the Reagan Administration to Taiwan in 1982, affirming the U.S. has not agreed to set a date to end arms sales, consult with China on arms sales, mediate between Taiwan and China, revise the Taiwan Relations Act, take a position on Taiwan's sovereignty, or pressure Taiwan to negotiate with China

  • Establishes a congressional review process requiring the President to notify Congress before taking any action that would violate the Six Assurances, including pausing defensive arms sales to Taiwan, negotiating with China about Taiwan arms sales, or pressuring Taiwan to negotiate with Beijing

  • Imposes a 30-day congressional review period (60 days during summer recess) during which the President cannot take the proposed action unless Congress passes a joint resolution of approval

  • Creates expedited procedures for Congress to pass joint resolutions of approval or disapproval, with automatic committee discharge after 10 days and waiver of procedural obstacles in both chambers

  • Blocks implementation of any action violating the Six Assurances if Congress enacts a joint resolution of disapproval, and prohibits expenditure of appropriated funds to further such action
