HOUSTON — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz and Gov. Greg Abbott said they met Sunday with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen while she was passing through Houston on her way to Central America.

The Republican senator said in a news release that during his meeting with Tsai, they "discussed our mutual opportunity to upgrade the stature of our bilateral relations" in a talk that addressed arms sales, diplomatic exchanges and economic relations.

"Furthering economic cooperation between our two nations must be a priority; increased access to Taiwanese markets will benefit Texas farmers, ranchers and small business owners alike," he said.

A news release from Abbott, also a Republican, said he and Tsai discussed energy, trade relations and commercial ties between Taiwan and Texas. He said they talked about "how our two economies can expand upon our already prosperous trade partnership."

An official with Republican President elect-Donald Trump's transition team has said neither Trump nor transition officials would be meeting with Tsai. Her stop in the U.S. was scrutinized by Beijing for any signs that Trump's team would risk its ire by further engaging with the self-ruled island that China considers its territory.

@Mod1 @Sanguine   , @corbe

 I don't know if this is "calling one out" but should be looked at. And this is putting it mildly.

That is generally unacceptable in forums, and like nasty name-calling, I will try to leave that to you all.

If the mods don't do anything, I'm sure some appropriate response can be applied.
