GovInfo lists S. 3979, the Taiwan and American Space Assistance Act of 2026, sponsored by Eric Schmitt, with cosponsors Tammy Duckworth and Michael F. Bennet. The bill's full title is to provide expanded NASA and NOAA cooperation with Taiwan.
Assessments
Schmitt took concrete same-term action related to strengthening U.S.-Taiwan ties, including sponsoring the 2026 Taiwan and American Space Assistance Act to expand NASA and NOAA cooperation with Taiwan and earlier advancing similar Taiwan space-cooperation language. However, the bill appears only introduced and referred, not enacted, and he also opposed a broader foreign-aid package that included Taiwan assistance. Because the promise was broad and action-oriented, these efforts merit partial credit, but there is not enough enacted or completed policy outcome to mark it fully delivered.
The available evidence does not show Schmitt materially advancing stronger U.S.-Taiwan relations during his current Senate term. His official Senate homepage and visible press-release listings show no Taiwan-related accomplishment in the provided lookback, and the strongest concrete evidence cuts the other way: he opposed a 2024 foreign-aid package that included Taiwan assistance. Because this promise is about continuing active work and the record here shows no demonstrated delivery and at least one contrary vote, the best judgment is that the promise was not fulfilled.
Since taking office on January 3, 2023, there is no clear public record in the provided official evidence of Schmitt sponsoring, advancing, or announcing a concrete Taiwan-focused initiative that measurably strengthened U.S.-Taiwan ties. The visible official homepage and press-release record through June 18, 2026 shows no Taiwan-related accomplishment, and a notable Senate action cuts the other way: in April 2024 he voted against the foreign-aid package that included support for Taiwan. On this record, the promise is not fulfilled rather than delivered or partially delivered.
