Amid speculation that he could be weighing a potential presidential run in 2024, Virginia Gov GlennYoungkin will travel to Taiwan, Japan and South Korea as part of his first intentional trade mission as governor later this month.
While overseas, the governor is slated to meet with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen, as well as other government officials, business associations, company executives and global industry leaders, according to Youngkin’s office. The trip is scheduled for April 24 through April 29.
Additionally, Youngkin’s visit will follow a meeting between Taiwan’s president and current U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy scheduled for this week. Tsai and McCarthy are slated to meet Wednesday in California. Youngkin raised concern about China several times leading up to this year's legislative session. His administration asked for legislation to ban “foreign adversaries” – including China – from purchasing Virginia farmland and issued an executive order in December banning the use of Chinese-owned apps, like Tik Tok, on state devices and networks.
Hunzeker, from George Mason, said he thinks Youngkin’s visit will be “symbolically important," particularly if the governor is considering launching a presidential campaign for 2024.
