Taiwan SOS Act of 2026

HR 7485, the Taiwan SOS Act of 2026, requires the U.S. State and Defense Departments to permit officials from Taiwan (including military personnel and representatives from the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office) to display the flag of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and military insignia during specific official activities. These activities include wearing official uniforms, participating in government-hosted ceremonies or functions, and appearing in Department of State and Defense social media promotions about U.S.-Taiwan engagement. The bill mandates this permission for designated purposes but does not alter U.S. policy on Taiwan's sovereignty. It focuses solely on ceremonial access for existing diplomatic and military interactions.
