US Representative Mike Gallagher is next week to lead a delegation to Taiwan in a show of support for president-elect William Lai （賴清德）, the Financial Times reported yesterday.
Gallagher, who chairs the US House of Representatives Select Committee on Strategic Competition between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party （CCP）, is to arrive on Wednesday next week, the paper said, citing three people familiar with the plan.
It also cited two Taiwanese officials as saying he would lead a delegation of seven US lawmakers.
The group is to meet with Lai, as well as newly elected Legislative Speaker Han Kuo-yu （韓國瑜） of the Chinese Nationalist Party （KMT）, it said.
Gallagher’s office did not respond to the Financial Times’ request for comment, but he had earlier confirmed a plan to visit in the spring during a podcast.
The House Select Committee on the CCP was formed in January last year.
Last week, the Wisconsin Republican announced that he would not be seeking re-election.
