The Senate Foreign Relations Committee voted unanimously to repeal the 1955 resolution authorizing U S forces to defend Taiwan and offshore Nationalist-held islands. The move, likely to pass the Senate, faces a tougher House fight and aligns with Nixon’s China outreach strategy. The White House stressed the defense treaty remains intact and commitments to the treaty area continue.
