TAIPEI—Taiwan and the United States have signed their first agreement under the Biden administration, establishing a Coast Guard Working Group to coordinate policy, following China’s passing of a law that allows its coast guard to fire on foreign vessels.

The new government of U.S. President Joe Biden has moved to reassure Taiwan that its commitment to the island is rock solid.
