Yes.
That’s the commitment
we made, President Joe Biden, via CNN.
We agree with the One China policy.
We signed on to it, and all the attendant agreements made from there, President Joe Biden, via CNN.
... but the idea that it can be taken by force, just taken by force, is [just not] appropriate, President Joe Biden, via CNN.

As the President said, our policy has not changed.
He reiterated our One China policy and our commitment to peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait, Unnamed White House Official, via CNN.

Biden clarified that the U.S. stance is to support One China, but that support does not extend to aggression from China.
We support the One China policy [...] but that does not mean [...] that China has the [...] jurisdiction to go in and use force to take
over Taiwan, President Joe Biden, via CNN.

attempt to provide struggling Americans relief amid surging inflation. .

funds road-building projects.
Biden says that going forward with a tax holiday is “not going to have an impact on major road construction and major repairs.”.
