Washington is seeking to deepen its economic cooperation with Taiwan, US National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan has told journalists.
Speaking en route to Japan on board Air Force One on Sunday, Sullivan said the US was “looking to deepen our economic partnership with Taiwan including on high technology issues, including on semiconductors and supply chains.”
He noted that America did “not want to see unilateral changes to the status quo,” nor “military aggression.” Sullivan added that Washington expects its “allies and partners, both in the region and beyond,” to amplify that message.
The national security adviser is heading to Japan with President Joe Biden to take part in a summit of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue group, also known as the Quad, which comprises the US, Japan, India and Australia. According to Reuters, the leaders of the four nations will discuss, among other things, issues of regional security.
