What this bill would do
The Taiwan Allies Fund Act aims to support Taiwan's international presence and diplomatic standing. It authorizes $40,000,000 per fiscal year for 2026, 2027, and 2028 to be drawn from the Countering PRC Influence Fund. These funds target specific countries that maintain or strengthen relations with Taiwan but face pressure from the People's Republic of China. The money can be used for various initiatives, including health, civil society, and supply chain diversification. The Secretary of State will oversee these activities in consultation with several agencies and Taiwan-related entities.
