Gov GlennYoungkin plans to visit Taiwan later this month but pushed back on questions about the trip being a part of his 2024 presidential ambitions. 'No, my sole purpose is to represent Virginia,' Youngkin told reporters.
"No, my sole purpose is to represent Virginia and to make sure that these investments that are being made in America by these trusted partners can come to Virginia," he said on Thursday.The Virginia governor said he saw the opportunity to travel to Taiwan as a way to help the"workforce" and"economy" of his state.
The former businessman is leading a Virginia delegation from April 24-29 to Taipei City, Taiwan; Tokyo; and Seoul, South Korea. He plans to meet with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen, other government officials, business associations, and company executives. The trip will be his first trip to Asia as governor.
In a late March poll by Washington Post-Schar School, Youngkin had a 52% positive approval from Virginia registered voters. The poll did find that 56% of Virginians preferred the governor not to run for president.
