"Thank you to Taiwan, a great friend of the United States, for donating over two million masks to the US. We are grateful for your support in fighting coronavirus. We are in this together," Perry wrote on Twitter.

The shipment includes 100,000 masks for use in the state of Pennsylva, which Perry himself represents in the US Congress.
