US President Donald Trump's nominee for ambassador to the United Nations, Elise Stefanik is pledging to work toward Taiwan's maximum meaningful participation in international organizations.
Speaking at Senate confirmation hearing in Washington DC, Stefanik said she's committed to making sure Taiwan has the most maximum meaningful participation within the UN system, as it should in all international organizations and also emphasized her support for Taiwan, mentioning in particular voting in Congress in favour of defense aid to strengthen Taiwan's deterrence capabilities.
Stefanik has been a Republican Representative since 2015 and has been very critical of China. She is currently a senior member of the House Committee on Armed Services and a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence.
