It was a tremendous honor to visit our troops in Japan and South Korea over Thanksgiving. Also got the chance to visit Taiwan to show our support for our partners in the region. pic.twitter.com/CtdBAmEZ62

美国众议院退伍军人事务委员会主席高野（Mark Takano），率领议员访问团周四（25日）晚间抵台，为这个月第二个乘搭专机访台的美国议员访问团。高野一行周五（26日）拜会台湾总统蔡英文时表示，未来美国官员来访台湾会变成常态。
台湾传媒报道指访问团关注台湾后备军人动员能力，蔡英文致辞时回应表示，明年一月主管后备军人的退辅会将派员常驻华府。蔡英文会见美国议员访问团成员时表示，台美在许多领域都持续深化伙伴关系。就在上周四（18日），台湾首批F-16V作战队成军。F-16V的升级和接装，都是台美国防工业合作的成果。
美国在台协会（AIT）晚间表示，此行程为国会议员出访印太地区的一环，访问团将与台湾资深领袖会面，讨论美台关系、区域安全，以及其他与双方利益相关的重要议题。
访团成员、众议员史罗金（Elissa Slotkin）稍早推文表示，访台消息传出后，其办公室收到来自中国大使馆的讯息，要求她取消旅行。但就像访问其它地点一样，议员团到此是为了解区域，并重申美国对台承诺。
史罗金在推特写道，在与驻韩美军过完感恩节后，她刚抵达台湾，将与这里的领袖讨论一系列经济与国家安全议题；她并提及台湾有晶片大厂，供应链问题肯定会是讨论议题之一。

After celebrating Thanksgiving with U.S. troops in Korea, I just touched down in Taiwan. After stops in Japan and Korea, it’ll be good to connect with leaders here to discuss a whole host of economic and national security issues. (1/3)

But just as with other stops, we’re here to learn about the region and reaffirm the U.S. commitment to our hosts, the Taiwanese. I’m looking forward to an informative trip. (3/3)

Biden is continuing a Trump-era shift to turn Taiwan into a pricklier target for China.
