Kuomintang Party Chairman Cheng Li-won returned to Taipei early Tuesday, concluding a five-stop visit that she described as “exceeding expectations.”
She met with representatives from numerous think tanks and universities, and in each city she met with Chinatown communities and attended dinner parties for Taiwanese Americans.
The 56-year-old party official also held closed-door meetings in Washington with several influential senators and representatives, including Senate Armed Services Committee member Dan Sullivan, an Alaska Republican; House Foreign Affairs Committee member Brad Sherman, a Democrat from California; and East Asia and Pacific Subcommittee Chairman Yong Kim, also a Republican from California.
Cheng also met with Republican Senator Steve Daines of Montana, who is widely seen as an ally of US President Donald Trump.
