CNN: US House Spkr Pelosi Expected To Make Taipei Trip-Officials

TAIWAN

CNN reporting that according to Taiwanese and US officials, US Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is expected to visit Taiwan as part of her CODEL visit to Asian allies. Trip has been seen as likely for some time, but this would appear to be the most serious indication so far that the visit is going ahead.

  • Trip is still not part of Pelosi's official itinerary, and would likely cause a significant increase in tensions between Washington, D.C. and Beijing. The White House is believed to have attempted to dissuade Pelosi from visiting Taiwan, but this appears to have fallen on deaf ears.
  • Pelosi in Singapore today. Set to also visit Malaysia, South Korea, and Japan.
