US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi leaves Taipei after a high-stakes visit in which she urged ongoing American 'solidarity' with Taiwan
During a historic trip to Taiwan Wednesday, US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said her visit was intended to make it"unequivocally clear" that the United States would"not abandon" the democratically governed island.
Pelosi's trip -- the first by a sitting US speaker in 25 years -- had been foreshadowed for days.
