U.S. President Eisenhower visited TAIWAN 美國總統艾森豪於1960年6月訪問中華民國臺灣省.With President Chiang Kai-shek of the Republic of China, the U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower waved hands to Taiwanese people during his visit to Taipei, Taiwan in June 1960. The two Presidents issued a Joint Communique reaffirming solidarity, stating that, according to the 1954 Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty, Kinmen and Matsu islands were closely related to the defense of Taiwan, and condemning the Communist Chinas artillery bombardment against Kinmen. Chiang was the Supreme Commander of Allied forces in the China war zone while Eisenhower was the Supreme Allied Commander Europe. Chiang met President Franklin D. Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill at the Cairo Conference in 1943 while Eisenhower also attended the meeting.
美國總統艾森豪（Dwight David Eisenhower）,19600618.親臨中華民國台灣省正式訪問,蔣中正總親自迎接,自台北市松山機場出現,由憲兵隊的哈雷重機車開道,沿途10萬民眾夾道歡迎,他們揮舞中國,與美國的國旗,大聲吶喊,美國萬歲中,國萬歲,誰人知曉19780101.美國與中華民國正式斷交.蔣總統也發表簡短談話，他認為艾森豪總統此次的訪問，更加深了中,美兩國的關係，同時也期望兩國能共同合作，達到中國民族自由與世界和平目的，並預祝艾森豪總統接下來在其他國家的訪問一切順利。」
艾森豪是在1960年的6月17日到19日三天訪問台北，這一年恰巧也是蔣中正剛剛就任第三任總統，艾森豪的到訪，正是蔣中正非常迫切需要的政治背書，因為蔣中正的第三任任期，有政治與法律上的爭議，雖然這是在內戰造成國家分裂的陰影之下的特殊現象，但是蔣中正在台統治的合法地位，仍然需要國際社會的認可，艾森豪與蔣中正在台會面，給足了國府面子，這也是冷戰時期兩岸軍事對峙的特殊現象，之後蔣中正又分別在1966年、1972年續任總統，在1974年病逝。
1960年6月18日，70歲的艾森豪從太平洋第七艦隊旗艦聖保羅號，搭乘陸戰隊一號直升機，抵達台北松山機場。73歲的中華民國總統蔣介石身著軍裝，與妻子宋美齡到機場親迎，之後並與艾森豪進行兩次會談。
美國總統艾森豪訪華。美總統艾森豪19600618日下午五時在總統府前廣場對五十萬人參加的群眾歡迎大會發表演說。美國總統艾森豪，上午在自由中國空前熱烈的歡迎下蒞臨台北，作為時24小時的友好訪問。兩位總統同乘敞篷禮車，在24輛摩托車及4輛紅色吉普警備車衛護之下循敦化路，南京東路，中山北路，進入市區，駛赴行館。
當時還是冷戰的時代。前任的杜魯門確認了圍堵政策，但艾森豪不僅「圍堵」，還讓蔣介石跨越了「不准反攻大陸」的門檻，曾經下令第七艦隊閃避，以便蔣介石得以在必要時，在中國沿海邊境採取反擊。有了艾森豪的「背書」，蔣也順勢獲得更多的美援，以及美軍顧問的協助，使1958年8月23日的金門炮戰得到足夠的抵禦能力曾任歐洲盟軍最高統帥的艾森豪，與曾任中國戰區最高統帥的蔣介石，雙方在這次歷史性的會面，還發表了《聯合公報》，重申落實《中美共同防禦條約》。有了艾森豪的美軍作為後盾，蔣介石也得以強化對內的高壓統治。這也是艾森豪在訪台不到三個月後，「雷震案」之所以爆發的遠因之一。
On June 18, 1960, U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower and Republic of China President Chiang Kai-shek met in Taipei, the only time in history that a sitting U.S. president visited the Republic of China on Taiwan.
The historic meeting was one of many significant events in relations between Taiwan and the United States since 1949 that are captured in an exhibition that opened in Taipei on Monday.
Titled "Hello, Mr. President!" the exhibition was organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to enhance public understanding of the long-standing relations and interactions between Taipei and Washington.
Many of the 180 photos on display feature Eisenhowers visit to Taiwan and Madame Chiang Kai-sheks speech to a joint session of the U.S. Congress in 1943.
Chiang and Eisenhower first met at the 1943 Cairo Conference when Eisenhower was part of the American delegation accompanying President Franklin Roosevelt.
Several years later, the two national leaders reunited in Taipei.
On that day, Eisenhower took a helicopter from a ship that was part of the Seventh Fleet and landed at Songshan Airport in Taipei, where he was welcomed by Chiang and his wife.
During the brief visit that lasted less than 24 hours, Eisenhower held two meetings with Chiang to discuss world affairs and reaffirmed an unyielding determination to pursue freedom, democracy and peace.
The two countries signed a joint communique in which they condemned Communist China for bombing Taiwans outlying Kinmen Island every other day and stressed that the two countries would jointly fight against the threat from China.
They also reaffirmed the Mutual Defense Treaty between the United States and the Republic of China signed in 1954 to safeguard Taiwan and the outlying islands and fight any provocative Chinese actions.
That night, Eisenhower delivered a speech in front of the Presidential Office, which drew an audience estimated at 500,000 people.
Eisenhowers visit symbolized the solid friendship between the ROC and the United States.
The communiques emphasis on strong mutual ties was important to Taiwan because of the frequent clashes that occurred between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait, starting with the bombardment of Kinmen by Communist Chinese forces in September 1954.
Eisenhowers firm stance and clear declaration of support on safeguarding Taiwans peace and security was believed to have helped check Communist Chinas advances on Taiwan.
His strategy had helped bring about peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait, leaving Taiwan with the opportunity to develop its economy and create an economic miracle.
Eisenhower left office on Jan. 20, 1961 and died in 1969. Chiang died six years later in 1975.
The exhibition, which is open to the public for free, is being held at the Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall in downtown Taipei and will run through Oct. 13.
US.President.（Dwight David Eisenhower）,訪問中華民國台灣省已經60年前,這段期間國際局勢錯綜複雜,詭駶多便,物換星移,許多國家的領袖與元首都已相繼下檯,進入歷史的檔案,其中美國與中華民國的斷交,是歷史上重要的事件,也就是說自由民主體制與共產主義體制開始交流,時代前進,而海峽兩岸的關係,也因為蔣經國的開放探親,解除戒嚴,黨禁,報禁等系列,而有所變化,美US President國實在是現實主義與功利主義的執行者,他們選折擇了中華人民共和國的中國,卻將中華民國改稱為台灣,出賣了蔣氏父子苦心經營的最後根據地,.如今60年過去,誰人記得當時美國與中華民國的友誼,聽聞當時美國安排President.（Dwight David Eisenhower）,的前3個月,就已經派遣特別小組,前來台灣指導規劃訪問事項,其中憲兵隊的機車連,24輛全新的哈雷重型機車的訓導,前導工作,憲兵隊日夜由美國教官訓練指導,絲毫不得有誤,這樣一來中華民國建國以來,唯一的一次,美國時任總統訪問中華民國.1968年就是中華民國57年.
1972年2月尼克森夫婦到達中國訪問,從此以後美國歷任總統,都要前往中國訪問覲見與敬見毛澤東主席,由此觀之,中國的利益就是美國的利益,小小的台灣就是被利用的棋子,時任美國國務卿季辛吉曾經在某次國際關係研討會時,中場休息咖啡時間,告訴年輕的研究員,因為中國共產黨戰勝了中國國民黨,我們願意與強者交往,那是季辛吉退休後的發言.
美國唯一沒有訪問中國的美國總統约翰·肯尼迪John Fitzgerald Kennedy.他堅強的反對共產黨導致日後被暗殺?
妻子日後改嫁希臘船王,整體家族政治事業末落,幾乎消失於美國政壇,他是民主黨.
