A Republican lawmaker has introduced legislation designed to strengthen Taiwan’s energy security by boosting U.S. liquefied natural gas exports to the island and offering war-risk insurance to ensure that fuel shipments continue despite threats from China.
Rep. Pat Harrigan (R-N.C.), who serves on the Armed Services Committee, introduced the Taiwan Energy Security and Anti-Embargo Act of 2026 on March 10. According to his office, the bill aims to make sure that Taiwan “isn’t left vulnerable to supply shocks or coercion by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) or external geopolitical turmoil.”
