「我在這裡說，美國不會讓你孤單，我們會在你們的身旁。」

謝謝。我很榮幸來到這裡。我們來到這就是要強調（美國）跨黨派對台灣的支持與（兩國）的堅定的夥伴關係。這個疫情是個全球的挑戰，我們有太多人為此失去了親友，失去了維生的依據。過去一年半以來，我們也看到covid19沒有分國界，它傳播起來時毫不猶豫，也不在意種族、宗教或政治偏好，儘管有些國家就是想利用疫情來威嚇別國。
我們以朋友的身份來這裡，因為我們知道台灣正在挑戰艱鉅的時刻。這也讓我們三人跨黨派來這裡，更為重要。朋友就是要在有難的時候，互相幫助。拜登政權已經宣布將對全球支援8千萬劑疫苗，首批釋出的有2500萬。白宮與我們三人經過幾週的討論後，我很高興在此宣佈，台灣將先收到75萬劑的疫苗。台灣被包含在首批收到疫苗的國家裡，這件事，對美國極其重要。因為我們了解到台灣現在很急，而我們非常珍惜這個夥伴關係。今天上午，我們將與台灣的領袖見面，我們也將把台灣的訊息帶回華盛頓。我知道在未來的日子裡，拜登政權將會確保台灣收到這些疫苗，安全、有效、越快越好。這會幫助拯救生命，並且讓我們更緊密，一起把疫情終結掉。
因為終結這個疫情也表示國際社會必須一起合作，盡可能讓越多人手臂上注射一針疫苗。因為終結疫情意指著在每個地方都必須終結。而這也反映出台灣在美國最需要的時候，伸出援手，我們的感激之情。在疫情剛開始時，台灣來援，提供PPE與其他救援物資來幫助拯救美國人的性命。我謹代表美國人民，向您們致謝。這是另一個「民主國家彼此合作彼此幫助」的案例。
我特別想親自來這裡，因為我的家庭，多數人知道，我父親的家族，從美國獨立革命起，幾代以來，就為美軍服役，為自由與民主奮戰。但你們多數有所不知的是，我母親的家族，其實最早是從廣東潮州逃離的，為了追求自由，為了逃離共產主義。我的母親在1940初期的泰國出生。所以這對我特別重要，來亞洲支持另一個民主政權。我的家庭與我，知道自由的代價。我在這裡對您們說，美國不會讓你孤單。我們會在你們的身旁來確定台灣人民會得到他們需要的，以此克服疫情，走向未來。謝謝你們。

Landing speech 2021/6/6
(Taipei International Airport)
Tammy Duckworth, D-IL
Thank you. I’m so honored to be here today. And we are here to underscore the bipartisan support for Taiwan and the strength of our partnership. This pandemic has been a global challenge and too many of us have lost loved ones and have their livelihoods taken away. And for the past year and half, we’ve seen how covid-19 knows no borders. It spreads quickly and without hesitation. And it doesn’t care about race, religion, or political preferences. Even if some nations seek to use the response to covid-19 to coerce others. We are here as friends, because we know that Taiwan is experiencing a challenging time right now. Which is why it’s especially important for the three of us to be here in a bipartisan way. Friends come to each other’s aid. The Biden administration has announced its framework of showing at least 80 million vaccines, uh, US vaccine doses globally and the plan is for the first 25 million doses. After several weeks of conversations between each of the three of us, and the White House officials, I am please to say that Taiwan will receiving 750,000 doses of the vaccines as part of the first bunch of doses. It was critical for United States that Taiwan be included in the first group to receive vaccines because we recognize your urgent need and we value this partnership. We’ll be meeting Taiwan’s leadership this morning to better understand Taiwan’s needs and carry those messages back to Washington. I know in the days ahead that Biden Administration will work to make sure Taiwan receives its shipment in as safe and effective its vaccines as soon as possible. This helps save lives and brings us closer to ending this pandemic once and for all.
Because ending this pandemic means that all of us in international community must work together to get shot in the arms of as many people as possible because truly ending this pandemic means ending it everywhere. And it also reflects our gratitude to Taiwan’s support for the American people in our time of need. In the early days of the pandemic, Taiwan came to our aid, with supply of PPE and other donations that help to save American lives. And on behalf of American people, we want to thank you for that. This is yet another example of how democracies work together to help one another.
You know I especially wanna be here because my family, most of you may know, my father’s family has served in the American military going back to the revolution, fighting for freedom and democracy. But most of you don’t know that my mother’s family is actually from Chaochiu from Guangdong who walked out of China seeking freedom to escape communism. And my mother was born in Thailand in the early 1940s. So it’s especially important to me to be here to support another democracy in the region. My family and I know the price of freedom. And I am here to tell you, that the United States will not let you stand alone. We will be by your side to make sure the people of Taiwan have what they need to get to the other side of this pandemic and beyond, Thank you.
