Issues: Foreign Affairs
U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released the following statement today after the Dominican Republic announced it is severing diplomatic relations with Taiwan in favor of China:
"I'm disappointed that the Dominican Republic has become the latest country in Latin American to bow to Chinese government pressure and sever ties with Taiwan. The United States stands with Taiwan, our ally and a fellow democracy. Congress must do more to counter China's influence in the Western Hemisphere."
