U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi waves after attending a meeting with Malaysia’s Parliament Speaker AzharAzizan Harun at Malaysian Houses of Parliament in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, August 2, 2022

U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi arrived in Chinese-claimed Taiwan aboard a U.S. military aircraft late on Tuesday, the first such visit in 25 years and one that risks pushing relations between Washington and Beijing to a new low.  Pelosi and her delegation disembarked from a U.S. Air Force transport plan at Songshan Airport in downtown Taipei and were greeted by Taiwan’s foreign minister, Joseph Wu and Sandra Oudkirk, the top U.S. representative in Taiwan.
