Notwithstanding heightened tensions with China over Taiwan, the US will use ships and planes to cross the Taiwan Strait in the "coming weeks," according to a senior US administration official.
The United States also wants to expand its trade relations with Taiwan, as the US coordinator for the Asia-Pacific region, Kurt Campbell, announced in Washington on Friday.
US forces would "continue to fly, navigate the seas and operate where international law permits, consistent with their long-term commitment to freedom of navigation," Campbell said.
This also includes "normal overflights and ship transits of the Taiwan Strait in the coming weeks".
Campbell did not specify the exact timing or extent of planned American troop movements in the straits between Taiwan and mainland China.
The US official also announced that a new trade plan for Taiwan and information on planned trade talks with Taipei would be released in the coming days.
The US would "further deepen" its relationship with Taiwan, including by strengthening economic cooperation.
Campbell described the day-long maneuvers of historically unprecedented proportions that China last held after the visit of top American politician Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan as an "overreaction".
Beijing continues to display "provocative, destabilizing and unprecedented" behavior.
The government in Taipei welcomed the US official's announcements.
Taiwan's foreign ministry thanked Washington for its "determined support" and "concrete actions to maintain cross-strait security and regional peace."
U.S. and allied warships have held regular drills in the straits for years, often drawing angry reactions from Beijing.
China regards Taiwan and the surrounding waters as its sovereign territory.
The United States and many other countries, on the other hand, consider the route international waters open to all.
After the communists won the Chinese Civil War in 1949, there was a split between China and Taiwan.
To this day, Beijing regards the island as a breakaway territory that it wants to reunite with the mainland - if necessary using military force.
Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine has fueled fears that Beijing could use a similar approach in its dealings with Taiwan.
