Taiwan Relations Reinforcement Act

This bill would require the Secretary of War, working with the Commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, to send Congress a report within 180 days and then yearly for 5 years on whether the United States can fully carry out the Taiwan Relations Act. The report would assess U.S. ability to deter an invasion, blockade, or missile campaign against Taiwan, and to resist other forms of pressure on Taiwan. It would also review military readiness, munitions, the defense industry, contributions from allies, and the ability to respond if the U.S. is also dealing with Russia, Iran, North Korea, or a terrorist group. The report would identify capability gaps and the costs and changes needed to address them, be submitted in classified form, and be followed by a classified briefing. The bill states it does not authorize the use of military force.
