During the visit, the delegation will meet with the president of Taiwan. The delegation of the US Congress arrived in Taiwan for an unannounced two-day visit.

This is reported by CNN.

On Sunday, August 14, a delegation of the US Congress led by Democratic Senator from Massachusetts Ed Markey arrived in Taipei. The delegation also includes Democratic Reps. John Garamendi, Alan Lowenthal and Don Beyer, as well as Republican House member Aumua Amata Coleman Radewagen. According to a statement from Taiwan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, during the visit, the group led by Marki will meet with Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen and Foreign Minister Joseph Wu, as well as hold talks with the Foreign Affairs and National Defense Committee of the Taiwan Parliament on security and trade issues.

It will be recalled that earlier the speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, despite China’s threats, visited Taiwan, becoming the highest-ranking US official to visit the island in the last 25 years.

The PRC responded by launching military exercises off the coast of Taiwan. Authorities in Taiwan called it a mock attack.

China has also cut off dialogue with the US on military and climate issues. And against Pelosi and her closest relatives in the Celestial Empire, sanctions were imposed.
