Blue Skies for Taiwan Act of 2026

This bill would require the Secretary of State, working with the Secretary of Defense, to set up a Blue UAS working group within 180 days to study Taiwan's drone production and the barriers to including Taiwanese drone parts and systems in the U.S. Blue UAS program. The group would report to Congress each year for several years. The bill would also create a cooperative framework with Taiwan and other allies to build drone supply chains that do not rely on China. It would also create a fast-track process for Taiwanese drone companies to get Blue UAS certification, including faster export control reviews. It authorizes funding as needed and states that it does not change U.S. policy on Taiwan or Taiwan's international status.
