U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson, in an interview, expressed support for Taiwan's need to "show strength" and reassert its independence.

In response to the aftermath of the 'Trump-Xi meeting,' DPP Policy Committee CEO Wu Szu-yao stated that the 'doubt-US' and 'doubt-Trump' narratives pushed by the KMT camp and some media outlets are baseless. She emphasized that the White House, State Department, and Congress have all reiterated that the US policy toward Taiwan remains unchanged, and US-Taiwan cooperation is rock-solid. Furthermore, spokesperson Wu崢 responded that President Lai Ching-te's interpretation of 'Taiwan independence' follows the line of former President Tsai Ing-wen, emphasizing that the Republic of China and the People's Republic of China are not subordinate to each other, aiming to maintain the status quo and regional peace, while countering that China is the root of regional instability.
