Republican Senators Issue Statement In Support Of Pelosi Taiwan Trip

US-CHINA

A group of 26 Republican Senators, including the Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have released a statement in support of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) visit to Taiwan.

  • The statement reads: "We support Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan. For decades, members of the United States Congress, including a previous Speaker of the House, have travelled to Taiwan. This travel is consistent with the United States' One China policy to which we are committed. We are also committed now, more than ever, to all elements of the Taiwan Relations Act."
  • The letter of solidarity towards Speaker Pelosi's trip demonstrates the bipartisan appetite within the United States for hawkish foreign policy towards the People's Republic of China, even during a period of partisan acrimony on domestic legislation.
  • The previous House Speaker to visit the island Newt Gingrich, wrote yesterday that he had received similar threats from Beijing in the days preceding his Taiwan trip but said “they backed down." He predicted yesterday that the bellicose rhetoric towards Pelosi was a similar "bluff."
