Senator Bill Hagerty, along with Senator Jeff Merkley, introduced a bipartisan resolution in the Senate, expressing the Senate’s support for unequivocally recognising the state of Arunachal Pradesh as an integral part of India. The resolution reaffirms that the US recognises the McMahon Line as the international boundary between China and the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, and pushes back against China’s claims that Arunachal Pradesh is part of the PRC.
