"When I was young, some people deliberately misspelled or mispronounced my name," the statement read. "Asian Americans have worked hard to change that experience for the next generation."
"He doesn't seem to understand that, which says a whole lot more about him than it will ever say about Asian Americans," Chao added.
Chao released her statement after Trump in a Truth Social post on Monday once again referred to her by the nickname "Coco Chow."
"Does Coco Chow have anything to do with Joe Biden's Classified Documents being sent and stored in Chinatown?" he wrote. "Her husband, the Old Broken Crow, is VERY close to Biden, the Democrats, and, of course, China."
Chao is married to Republican Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Trump has repeatedly claimed without substantiation that Chao and McConnell are compromised by their ties to China. Trump has also called Chao "crazy" and described her as McConnell's "China loving wife."
