“The president of President Lai has a transit is a deeply worrying break with the previous Bipartisan and sends an imprudent signal to Beijing that our partnership with Taiwan is on the negotiation table,” added Democratic Senator Andy Kim, DN.J., in an article on X after the news concerning the presumed trip of President Lai.

“American leadership is now considered to be deeply unreliable, with Trump’s adjustments with Ukraine, NATO allies and other key partners. I urge President Trump to reverse the course and do what the presidents of the two parties have done and allow a transit, and asks my colleagues at the Congress to join me in this call.”

The news of the Trump administration’s decision to ban the Taiwanese president from stopping in New York comes as the president would feel a potential journey to Beijing himself, alongside the main American CEOs. However, nothing was put into stone concerning Trump’s journey.
