TAIWAN TENSIONS – US ‘will not abandon’ Taiwan, says Pelosi

The United States “will not abandon” Taiwan, US House speaker Nancy Pelosi said Wednesday in Taipei where she met with Taiwan’s President Tsai Ing-wen despite warnings from China.
“Today, our delegation (…) came to Taiwan to make unequivocally clear: we will not abandon our commitment to Taiwan,” Pelosi said in accepting the civilian Order of Propitious Clouds from Tsai for her support for the territory.
