The trip has attracted heightened attention following reports that Tsai would meet US House Speaker Kevin McCarthy during one of her unofficial stopovers in the US
Taiwan has every right to “connect with the world,” its President Tsai Ing-wen declared Wednesday as she embarked on a diplomatic mission to Central America, which will include transit in the United States – and has already been condemned by China. Tsai departed Taiwan on Wednesday for a 10-day trip in which she will make stopovers in New York City and Los Angeles on either side of official visits to Guatemala and Belize.
She had public appearances, and she attended engagements with the Taiwanese diaspora,” the official said. “As in past years, President Tsai will be welcomed by the Chair of the Board of Trustees of the American Institute in Taiwan during this transit.” AIT is the organization that carries out unofficial US relations with Taiwan. Tsai has transited the US six times while she has been president, according to US officials.
