Sources say Tsai Ing-wen intends to meet McCarthy in the coming weeks, a move that may stoke tensions with Beijing and in the Taiwan strait
Taiwan’s president, Tsai Ing-wen, plans to meet US House speaker Kevin McCarthy on a visit to the United States in coming weeks, according to sources speaking to the Reuters news agency.
The Financial Times first reported the plans to meet in California, a move that could replace the Republican speaker’s anticipated but sensitive trip to the democratically governed island claimed by China.
