Han unsuccessfully ran for president in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>When Lai was inaugurated earlier this year, no members of Congress were in attendance. Instead, former White House economic adviser Brian Deese and former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage attended. About a week after the inauguration, a delegation made up of Reps. Michael McCaul (R-TX), Andy Barr (R-KY), Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), Young Kim (R-CA), Jimmy Panetta (D-CA), and Joe Wilson (R-SC) visited Taiwan.<\/p>\n<p>Taiwan&rsquo;s sovereignty and ability to hold a democratic election is a hot topic as China claims the island as its own territory. Xi was elected by all but four votes from the National People&rsquo;s Congress.<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. State Department recently authorized the sale of F-16 fighter components, radars, and other equipment to&nbsp;Taiwan. This&nbsp;was also condemned by China, which promised countermeasures to the sale.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Trump has already welcomed Argentine President Javier Milei and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to his Mar-a-Lago residence several weeks ahead of his inauguration.
