A visit to Taiwan has dominated the diplomatic trip, with China threatening the US if Pelosi steps foot in the country.
Pelosi’s office listed Singapore, Japan, South Korea, and Malaysia as places she will visit. No one mentioned Taiwan.Biden told Xi that the US hasn’t changed its policy.
: “A Speaker of the House has visited Taiwan before without incident, as have many members of Congress over the years, including this year. There is no reason for Beijing to turn a potential visit consistent with longstanding U.S. policy into some sort of crisis or conflict.”Pelosi will make her own decisions regarding the trip “because Congress is an independent branch of the government.”
