Nancy Pelosi’s Taiwan visit LIVE: US House Speaker says trip ‘in no way contradicts’ US policy toward China

America’s solidarity with 23 million people of Taiwan is more important today than ever, tweets Nancy Pelosi

Nancy Pelosi Statement after she landed in Taipei, Taiwan:

The United States continues to oppose unilateral efforts to change the status quo.

Our visit is one of several Congressional delegations to Taiwan – and it in no way contradicts longstanding United States policy, guided by the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979, U.S.-China Joint Communiques and the Six Assurances.

America’s solidarity with the 23 million people of Taiwan is more important today than ever, as the world faces a choice between autocracy and democracy.

Our delegation’s visit to Taiwan honors America’s unwavering commitment to supporting Taiwan’s vibrant Democracy.

Our discussions with Taiwan leadership reaffirm our support for our partner & promote our shared interests, including advancing a free & open Indo-Pacific region.
